2. Legal Issues in Marriage and Abduction
Marriage During the Iddat Period
Islamic law requires a woman to complete the Iddat (waiting period) after divorce before remarrying. In a recent case, the petitioner married his second wife before completing his first wife’s Iddat period. This act violated Islamic law and carried serious legal consequences.
Abduction and Forced Marriage
In another case, the complainant accused the petitioner of abducting his sister and coercing her into marriage. This is a criminal offence under the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). The police can register a cognizable offence when such allegations are made, and they have the authority to investigate and take necessary action.
3. Cognizability of Offences in Criminal Cases
Criminal law divides offences into cognizable and non-cognizable. A cognizable offence is one for which the police can take immediate action, such as arresting the accused without a warrant. If the offence is cognizable, the police must register the FIR and investigate. In this case, the police registered the FIR as the offence was cognizable. Even if the investigation later reveals a non-cognizable offence, the proceedings remain valid.
4. Islamic Marriage Law: Batil vs. Fasid
Islamic marriage law makes a clear distinction between batil (invalid) and fasid (voidable) marriages. A fasid marriage is one that can be corrected but does not require the woman to observe the Iddat period if the marriage is not consummated. In this case, the marriage was fasid because it did not meet all the requirements, and the woman was not entitled to the Iddat period.
5. Understanding Bail in Criminal Cases
Bail allows an accused person to remain free while awaiting trial. The court considers factors like the seriousness of the offence, the evidence, and the risk of the accused fleeing. The court’s goal is to ensure that the accused can defend themselves without being unjustly detained. In this case, the court made a tentative assessment based on the available information, but the final decision will depend on the evidence presented during the trial.
