The wife filed a suit, which was decid ed in her favor, directing the petitioner to pay the mehr and maintenance. Despite appeals, the judgment was upheld by the High Court. The court emphasizes the Islamic concept of mehr, its legal recognition, and the obligation of husbands to pay it when demanded by the wife. The petitioner’s failure to fulfill his obligation resulted in unnecessary litigation, burdening the judicial system. The court dismisses the petition, declining leave to appeal, and imposes costs on the petitioner, emphasizing the need for compliance with court decisions and discouraging frivolous litigation. Additionally, compensatory costs are imposed, and non-compliance may lead to enforcement through attachment of the petitioner’s properties by the Family Court
