ISLAMABAD: The Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan, in its meeting here, has discussed the proposal of “Post-Divorce Mutah” for wives as ordained in the Holy Quran by revisiting the half-century-old Muslim Family Law Ordinance 1961 and the West Pakistan Family Courts Act 1964 keeping in view the changing needs of the society. The commission observed that the proposed amendment would be beneficial for a divorced wife and protect her from facing agonies after divorce, said a press release issued here on Sunday.
