Judgment text as reported

HINA VS ADIL SHAHZAD S.5, Sched.---Maintenance allowance for minor children---Minor with special needs---Obligation of father to maintain his minor children---Scope---A father is not only under a legal obligation but it is also his moral and religious duty to maintain his children---This obligation is firmly rooted in the injunctions of the Holy Qur'an, which in Surah Al-Baqarah declares, "And clothing and maintenance must be borne by the father in a fair manner." [Al-Baqarah: 233]---The dictate of the Qur'an, therefore, places upon the father a continuous responsibility to provide sustenance, clothing, education, and medical care to his children in a just and equitable manner, commensurate with his means and status---This duty becomes even more accentuated where the child requires special care---Any attempt to dilute or evade such responsibility would be contrary not only to the law of the land but also to the spirit of Shariah, which emphasizes compassion, fairness, and protection of the vulnerable---Father is under a legal and moral obligation to maintain his children---The concept of maintenance is not confined merely to food and shelter; rather, it encompasses all necessary expenses relating to education, clothing, medical treatment, transportation, and recreational activities, so as to enable the child to live a life of dignity consistent with the status of his father.
