 * Once the gift/hiba itself was declared to be unlawful, any further transaction on the basis of the said gift would only be a nullity in the eye of law for that the wife i.e. donee of the gift did not have legal title to the house to sell the same to the petitioner---Both gift as well as the purported sale in favour of the petitioner were nothing but sham transactions and its purpose was to ensure that the decree for maintenance was not satisfied---decree was for the maintenance of the daughter, but unfortunately, the father in sheer disregard of his parental obligation had indulged in making unlawful transactions---court while exercising parental jurisdiction could not just sit and be a spectator in such unholy and unlawful conduct of the father---Section 13(3) of the West Pakistan family court s Act, 1964, empowered the family court to execute its own decree for payment of money by adopting modes provided for recovery of arrears of land revenue (including selling the immovable property of the defaulter)---Order of attachment of the house of the father passed by the family court in execution of the decree passed by it, was in accordance with law---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed accordingly and leave was refused.

 i) Is it permissible for an individual to marry two real sisters concurrently?

ii) Can an individual marry the sister of his divorced wife while the latter is undergoing the Iddat period?
Shared by: Syed Naeem Ali Advocate
Regarding criminal liability arising out of a marriage involving the marriage of two sisters, most Hanafi jurists, including Imam Abu Hanifa (R.A), argue that such unions do not warrant the imposition of Hadd punishment. However, they are unanimous that considering its serious repercussions, it must be dealt with seriously, and Tazir must be inflicted.
