The Muslim Family Laws Ordinance (MFLO) 1961 has provisions for the constitution of Arbitration Council to resolve three specific family disputes: divorce, polygamy, and maintenance. The arbitration may be defined as the reference of a dispute for adjudication to a third party chosen by the parties in dispute and whose decision is binding on the disputants. Islam recognises Tah’kim (arbitration), alongside the Al-qada’ (judiciary) as a means of dispute settlement, as it is evidenced in the Quran, and the Sunnah (tradition) of the Prophet (SM).
