In a significant ruling, the Lahore High Court (LHC) has affirmed that Haq Mehr is a mandatory legal and religious obligation of the husband, not a voluntary gift. The court held that any agreed amount or property at the time of marriage, including those stipulated in separate written agreements, is legally enforceable. This judgment came in a case where the court upheld a lower court's decision awarding a five-marla house and maintenance to a divorced woman based on a signed agreement, rejecting the husband's claims of forgery and emphasizing that a wife's non-claim of Mehr during the marriage does not constitute a waiver.

The Lahore High Court issued a ruling that a husband must pay Rs1 million as Mehr to his first wife if he contracts a second marriage without her consent. The court ordered the immediate payment of the agreed Mehr amount and also directed that the wife be entitled to monthly maintenance and compensation for her dowry until the divorce becomes legally effective. The judgment stated that failure to disclose prior marriages violates ethical and legal obligations.
