Judgment text as reported

GHULAM SHABBIR VS Mst. ABBAS BIBI S.5, Sched.---Matters arising out of Cl.19 of Nikahnama---Scope---No restriction existed that husband cannot agree to arrange for maintenance or agree to extend fiscal advantage to the wife, even after the divorce---Such nature of the benefit/advantage, which in any manner is not restricting the right of divorce, is in fact an act of bestowing benefit or gift upon wife to support her, hence, cannot be termed as illegal or contrary to the Spirit of Islam and Teachings of Holy Quran---Concept of alimony is not alien to the Islam---Financial support agreed to in Cl. 19 cannot be construed as encumbrance or clog on the right to divorce but manifests sense of continuing responsibility and affection, which cannot be construed as continuing maintenance allowance beyond the period of iddat.
