Assalam o Alaikum, I am posting this on behalf of someone else.

My friend loved someone and he wanted to do nikkah but the girl's family didn't agreed and they did everything to accept their decision (marry the person of their choice). They did physical, mental and emotional torture on her and even character assassinated her and at the end she accepted (forcefully) nikkah of her family's choice. She didn't wanna accept other man but she did due to all the behaviour her family did.

Now she made her mind up for khula. They (my friend and his love) are planning to give wrong contact information of the man so that the court wouldn't be able to contact to that man. If that man somehow be able to know this happening, he will go to her and tell her family and the girl have to face serious conditions like full lockdown (not even a step out of house).

So my question is that is khula be acceptable if the husband didn't know about this happening?

I work in a company in Karachi (Pakistan), my role is accounts manager (i need to visit local office branches in Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpur khas for account reconciliations and updating records)… also I need to collect payments from distributors all over Sindh and deposit in company bank account which are often 5lacs to 15 lacs monthly.

Out of nowhere, my employer (owner) is now demanding me to hand him over a BLANK CHEQUE for his security purpose (theres too much politics in my office and some people have been in the company for 20 years which are junior to me but close to owner) because apparently he doesn’t trust me and says its a big amount and i can steal the money and run away. Its my first month in this job (ive done same work in other company in same segment and never have i ever encountered this situation).

The thing is my gut feeling says “Don’t handover a blank cheque” because the owner has temperament issues as ive heard and seen.

What should i do now? We have been in arguments for past 2 days and im in intense pressure and tension that i can barely sleep and eat because i need to provide for my family being the sole bread winner. Im severely depressed that i might be laid off if i dont give him a blank cheque and also i dont have any other offer from other company or backup money or anything.

Guys if a girl gets divorced and goes to Pakistani court for dowry return, haq mehr and her belongings like clothes shoes (abroad and Pakistan). What are the chances of her winning the case?

Under Pakistani law, if gifts were given to the bride after nikkah but before rukhsati, and the marriage does not continue, can those gifts be legally taken back by the groom or his family?

I am asking specifically about gifts such as gold, clothes, cash, or other items given before rukhsati.

Hi I need help regarding a SPOA matter. Does anyone have a contact with a good civil court lawyer?

I want to surrender my SPOA and I've gone through Gemini and it has told me the relevant steps, but I don't know how to proceed given the context of my situation.

The SPOA covers the operations of a commercial building and any ongoing cases related to that building. There are TWO SPOAs involved, and due to certain misuse of the attorney power by the other attorney, I now want to distance myself from this matter. I'm cleared for the preceding years but I want to get rid of this ticking time bomb because I know it's going to get messy.

I appreciate all the help in the comments, but if anyone has a contact for a good civil court lawyer then I'll be very obliged.

Edit: Based in Lahore!

So I want to know if a road is declared commercial so do the buildings on that road have to pay commercialisation fees?

And if it's declared commercial does our conversation fees from residential to commercial fees get exempted?

As our property is being used for commercial purposes by a diagnostic center

I’m looking for some guidance on a situation I’m currently facing with my employer (a private company in Karachi). I was recently informed that I am being let go due to an unsatisfactory performance review. While I had been told previously that I needed to improve, I was never actually placed on a formal Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). Here is where it gets complicated: My employment contract explicitly states a 60-day written notice period (or payment in lieu of notice). Despite this, the company is asking me to exit immediately. They haven't sent an official termination email yet, but they have indicated that I will only be paid for the current month’s payroll. I want to ensure they honor the terms we both signed. If they refuse to pay the remaining balance, what are my best options for escalation? Any advice on how to handle this professionally.
