Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD QAYYUM ANJUM VS ADDITIONAL DISTRICT JUDGE, MUZAFFARGARH S.10---Dower---Failure to specify the time for payment of dower---Scope---Husband claimed that although the transfer of house was promised in the Nikahnama but the same was deferred dower and the marriage between the parties was still intact, therefore, the wife was not entitled to receive the same during subsistence of marriage---Validity---Reading of Entry 16 of Nikahnama of the parties revealed that neither mode of transfer was provided for nor the time for transfer of house promised under Column No. 16 was incorporated indicating the same to be part of deferred dower, hence, there was failure to classify the house under Column No. 16 as deferred dower coupled with the omission to specify mode and time of payment thereof---By virtue of S.10, the wife was entitled to claim for the discharge of obligation, which the husband undertook in terms of entry under Column No.16---Courts below had rightly held the wife entitled to the house specified in Column No.16 of her Nikahnama---Constitutional petition was dismissed.
