The most important provisions have been inserted in the Family Courts Ordinance 1985 for the conciliation between the parties at both pre-trial stage and trial stage of suits concerning divorce, dower, maintenance, restitution of conjugal life and custody of children. An attempt to settle disputes through alternative process is compulsory for the judges. Section 10 says after the filing of the written statement, the court shall examine the plaint, written statement and the documents filed by the parties and if it deems fit, hear the parties. It shall ascertain points at issue and attempt to reach a compromise between the parties. These good provisions on mediation have been inserted in family matters just to preserve the relationship and peace between the parties.
