شوھر نے بیوی کو اراضی ھپہ کی اور بعد میں ھبہ کی منسوخی کے لیے دعوی دائر کر دیا. لاھور ہائیکورٹ نے شوھر کے خلاف اور ھمارے معاشرے میں خواتین کی حالت زار کے بارے میں انتہائی سخت ریمادکس دیتے ھوئے شوھر کی نگرانی خارج کردی اور قرار دیا کہ شوھر ایک باراراضی بیوی کو ھبہ کرنے کے بعد اسکو واپس نہ لےسکتا ھے

Man and woman are of equal rank, but they are not identical. They are a peerless pair, being supplementary to one another, each helps the other, so that without the one the existence of the other cannot be conceived, and, therefore, it follows as a necessary corollary from these facts, that anything that will impair the basic right of a woman to be treated with decency and proper dignity will not only involve the infringement of Article 9 of the Constitution which guarantees that no person shall be deprived of life or liberty save in accordance with law but also ruin our social fabric which is interwoven with the family bond. Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said: “the best of you is the best to his family and I am the best among you to my family. The most perfect believers are the best in conduct and best of you are those who are best to their wives” (Ibn-Hanbal No.7396).

When a woman gets married, she has financial rights over her husband in that he must provide her with all the necessities for her to live a comfortable life. It is thus, incumbent upon the husband to offer the provisions of house, food, clothing, healthcare and other tools required for her subjective standard of living.

It is now well settled that once mutation of names has been proved, the natural presumption arising from the relation of husband and wife existing between them is that the husband’s subsequent acts with reference to the property were done on his wife’s behalf and not on his own . This principle indicates that the theory of constructive possession is very well applicable to gifts between husband and wife.

Sahih alMuslim that the Holy Prophet

“the person who revokes his gift, is like the dog that licks up what it disgorges”

If a husband makes a gift of anything to his wife or a wife to her husband, it cannot be retracted because the object of the gift is an improvement of affection and as the object is obtained, the gift cannot be retracted.
