Raheel Kamran Sheikh

Justice Raheel Kamran Sheikh is a judge of the Lahore High Court in Pakistan, known for his rulings on family law and women's rights. Recently, he made headlines by ruling that women who seek divorce, or 'khula,' are entitled to their dowry, or 'haq mehr,' even if they initiate the separation. This landmark decision emphasized that a woman's right to financial security should not be compromised due to the circumstances of the divorce, particularly in cases of domestic abuse or harsh treatment by the husband.
