Dr. NOOR MUHAMMAD SALEEMI SAGGU VS ADDITIONAL DISTRICT JUDGE

S. 10---dower---Deferred dower---Scope---Wife sought recovery of deferred dower during subsistence of marriage--Validity---Prompt dower was payable on demand during subsistence of the marriage tie whereas the deferred dower was payable on the time stipulated between the parties, but where no time was stipulated, it was payable on dissolution of marriage either by death or divorce---Deferred dower did not become "prompt" merely because the wife had demanded it---High Court observed that the wife was not entitled to recover her dower at this stage and her suit was premature---Constitutional petition was allowed, in circumstances.
