The Supreme Court of Pakistan has issued a landmark ruling clarifying that any form of divorce under the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance (MFLO) of 1961 can be revoked within 90 days. The three-member bench stated that Section 7 of the MFLO applies to all types of divorces, including talaq-e-bidat (instant triple talaq). According to Section 7(1), a husband must provide written notice of divorce to his wife and send a copy to the Union Council or relevant authority. Under Section 7(3), the divorce does not take immediate effect; it becomes effective only after 90 days from the date the notice is received, unless it is revoked earlier. Justice Muhammad Shafi Siddiqui, who authored the judgment, explained that the law aims to prevent impulsive divorces and provide a reconciliation period. The court also confirmed that if a wife has been granted the right to divorce, she can exercise it under the same conditions and limitations as her husband.
