The Lahore High Court (LHC) has highlighted a significant legal gap regarding the dissolution of marriages when a non-Muslim woman converts to Islam. As reported by the Daily Times on February 6, 2026, the LHC has urged the legislature to create a 'clear and comprehensive law' to address this issue, which has persisted for over thirty years. The absence of such legislation has led to 'legal uncertainty and hardship,' affecting many individuals who find themselves in this situation. The court's call to action underscores the need for legislative clarity to protect the rights of those involved and ensure fair treatment under the law.
