“***No doubt, as per enties of Nikahnama dower of
appellant/plaintiff is deferred in nature i.e. “Ghyr Moajal” but it is
not denied that marriage of the parties has since been
consummated and it is well settled that dower whether prompt or
deferred is inalienable right of wife and after consummation, same
would become vested right for a wife to claim at any time. Reliance
in this regard is placed on an authoritative judgment of Hon’ble
Lahore High Court, “2006 YLR 33. Since the marriage of the
parties has been consummated, therefore, the appellant/plaintiff is
entitled to claim her above dower at any time and
respondent/defendant is legally bound to pay the same on
demand.***”
Used In Judgment of:
Lahore High Court
