Court Marriage in Pakistan
Our law firm is often engaged to help with court marriages. Our support staff will help you with the legal paperwork and affidavit of free will, which is recognized and enforceable under Muslim personal law.
To get married in court, you'll need to provide copies of your National Identity Card, two passport-sized photos with a white or blue background, and proper verification of your age and identity. The minimum age for girls to get married is 16, and for boys it's 18 years. Age verification is necessary, and can be done by providing copies of your National Identity Card, Form B, or Educational Certificate.
We understand how important it is to keep our client's information confidential and secure. You can trust that we will do everything in our power to serve you in the best way possible.
