Column Nos.13 to 15 and column No.16 are independent and not interdependent as they cater for two different undertakings between the spouses while executing the Nikahnama, thus the same cannot be read in conjunction. Through column Nos.13 to 15 reference is made to dower i.e. what will be the dower, whether it is prompt or deferred and whether some of the dower has been paid at the time of marriage, whereas column No.16 is an independent condition setup at the time of marriage as it refers to a special condition undertaken by the spouses while entering in the marital bond through a Nikahnama.

In the above background for enforcement of the special condition as set up in column No.16, either of the spouses can approach the family court keeping in view the Schedule attached to the West Pakistan Family Courts Act 1964.
