Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD QAYYUM ANJUM VS ADDITIONAL DISTRICT JUDGE, MUZAFFARGARH S.10---Dower---Scope---Perusal of S.10 of the Ordinance brings forth the legislative fiat that where no details about the mode of payment of dower have been spelled out by the parties to confer certainty to it under the marital contract, the omission or failure of the parties to fill in and/or reflect their intention in a perspicuous manner, the legislature has stepped in to fill in such omission of the parties through S.10 of the Ordinance which clearly states that, in such like situations, the entire amount of the dower shall be presumed to be payable on demand---Statutory presumption embodied under S.10 of the Ordinance is rebuttable; however, the same has to be rebutted through positive evidence.
