Can the court dismiss a divorce case?

Yes, in Faskh, the court may dismiss if:

  • grounds under Section 2 are not proven (e.g., non-maintenance not proved),
  • wife fails to appear,
  • petition is withdrawn improperly,
  • the petition is defective. Talaq/Khula/Mubarat are not “cases”, so dismissal is irrelevant.
