A similar view has also been expressed in the case reported as
“Muhammad Iqbal v. Mst. Zahida and 2 others”(2013 MLD
800), that provisions of Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984 and Civil
Procedure Code would not apply to prove the claim of dowry
articles-----Section 17 of West Pakistan Family Courts Act, 1964
made it abundantly clear that provisions of Qanun-e-Shahadat
Order, 1984 were excluded. It has been laid down in the case
reported as “Muhammad Islam v. Mst. Rashidah Sultana and 4
others”(2013 CLC 698) that intent of the legislature was clearly to simplify the procedure and the law-makers were aware of the fact
that in cases relating to dower, the lists were seldom prepared and
receipts were very rarely kept intact as everyone made arrangements
for marriage of one’s daughter with the hope and prayer that she
would lead a happily married life.
