What Is Christian Divorce in Pakistan?
Christian matrimonial conflicts are governed by colonial-era regulations such as:
-
Christian Marriage Act 1872
-
Christian Divorce Act 1869

These laws allow Christians in Pakistan to obtain divorce or judicial separation while respecting religious norms.
A Christian divorce lawyer ensures that the process is handled in a way that aligns with your faith while fulfilling legal requirements.
