Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions on Family Law (FAQ)
Does a wife forfeit her right to dower (mahr) if she initiates divorce? No. If the right of delegated divorce (Talaq-i-Tawfeez) is granted in Column 18 of the Nikahnama, the wife exercises that delegated right without forfeiting her dower. Dower is only relinquished if she explicitly agrees to a Khula divorce waiving it. Who is entitled to child custody under Bangladesh law? The court's sole deciding factor is the Welfare of the Child. While the mother generally retains physical custody (Hizanat) during infancy, the court determines custody and guardianship based on who best provides for the child's moral, physical, and educational development.
