Solitary statement of wife is sufficient to prove the claim of dowry articles.

9. It has been held in Mst. Shakeela Bibi Vs. Mohammad Israr and others (2012 MLD 756) that the solitary statement of wife is sufficient to prove the claim of dowry articles. It was further held that this notion is misconceived that the wife while making the claim for dowry articles was required to prove the case in terms of requirements of Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984. West Pakistan Family Courts Act, 1964 is a special law and provisions of Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984 have been excluded through section 17 of the Act, 1964.
