Documents to bring

  • Your CNIC and the Nikahnama
  • List of dowry articles (Jahez list)
  • Purchase receipts and jeweller's bills
  • Wedding photos or videos showing the articles
  • Divorce or Khula papers, if any

No receipts? Don't worry — call us. Other evidence can often prove your claim.

Good to know

Dowry, bridal gifts and the gold given to the bride are her own property. She can claim them even if she was the one who left the home.

Haq Mehr written in the Nikahnama is a debt owed to the wife. Deferred Mehr becomes payable on divorce.

Common mistakes to avoid in a dowry or Mehr claim

Leaving without a list

Instead: Write down every article and gold item while details are fresh.

Losing photos and receipts

Instead: Save wedding photos, videos, jeweller's bills and purchase receipts.

Agreeing to a verbal return

Instead: Any return of articles should be written down, item by item, and signed.

Delaying your claim

Instead: The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to trace and value the articles.

Dowry & Mehr FAQs

Can I recover dowry without receipts?

Often, yes. Witness statements, photos and the customary nature of dowry can all be used as evidence.

What if the articles have been sold or damaged?

You can claim their value instead. We help you document a fair valuation for the court.

Is Haq Mehr affected if I file for Khula?

It can be. In Khula, the court may require return of Mehr received. We explain how this applies to you before filing.

How much does a recovery case cost?

Consultation is free. The case fee depends on the claims involved — you get a written quote first.
