Gifts given to wife at time of marriage or before separation cannot be revoked

The Sindh High Court has ruled that gifts given by a husband to his wife at the time of marriage or before separation cannot be rescinded.

The Sindh High Court conducted a hearing on a petition about the return of gifts given to the wife either at the time of marriage or before separation.

The court dismissed Arshad Jameel’s plea against the trial court’s decision and issued a detailed judgement on the appeal.

According to the court’s decision, gifts given to the wife at the time of marriage or before separation cannot be reclaimed; gifts given during the marriage become the personal property of the wife.
