Local Shariah Council Has Dissolved Marriage (Faskh-e-Nikah), Permissible?
Any local administrative body which is established with the mutual agreement of the Muslims and the members of the council are qualified in Islamic shariah, they assume the authority for such matters when both parties are agreed on their authority. If the complaint of the woman is found valid and satisfactory, the council can cancel the nikah. If a party disagrees with the decision, in this case, the husband, he can consult some higher authorities available to him.
