About Me

Hi, 

Welcome to my blog!
 
I am Advocate Afshan Saleem.  I have completed my LL.M degree and Masters in Political Science. Along with this, worked for a legal firm as a Research Department Incharge for 8 years, wrote many research papers and co-authored books in the field of law.  I am a Certified Researcher from the University of Karachi. I have participated in various seminars and conferences as well. 


I have been practicing law since 2013, and throughout my career, I observe so many flaws and hurdles in the Justice system of Pakistan and a lack of knowledge in the common person about the laws and procedures.

I am writing this blog to enlighten and spread information about the Laws, Making of a Law, law procedures, case laws, and how to use the law to attain one's legal right. What are the prerequisites for establishing a right and filing the case for attaining it? 

all of these questions will be the key subjects to write this blog.

I'd love to hear from you!

let me know about your feedback/ Suggestions/ questions about the blog. 

Thank you.

Why Death Penalty Is Always Given Before Sunrise And After Fajr In Pakistan?   I am an advocate listed in  Karachi Bar Association, Pakistan.   One day a friend of mine asked me a question to me, why the death sentence execution is always done before sunrise and after fajr prayer in Pakistan? I don’t have the answer to that question, so I decided to search for the right and correct answer to that question. I asked my colleagues and seniors for the answer but no one has an accurate answer. Everybody has his own answer but my eagerness was not contented, so I keep on searching for this answer. I visited many websites for that, and there was a long list of answers to that question. Like..... v When a DOE (date of execution) is handed down it specifies a certain date. A new day begins at 12:00am or midnight. Executions are usually carried out in the first few hours of a new day. It is also a time when the general prison population is settled and sleeping, the staff then can f

    Divorce is the legal termination of a marriage contract between two spouses. In Islam, divorce can take various forms, depending on the circumstances and the parties intentions. In this blog post, we will discuss four main types of divorce in Islam: 1.       Talaq 2.        Khula 3.       Mubarah (Mubaraat) 4.       Faskh.   1.       Talaq Talaq is the most common type of divorce in Islam, where the husband initiates the divorce by pronouncing the word "talaq" (meaning "you are divorced") to his wife. Talaq can be revocable or irrevocable, depending on how many times the husband says it and whether he intends to end the marriage permanently or not. A revocable talaq allows the husband to take back his wife during a waiting period (Iddat) of three menstrual cycles, without a new marriage contract or dowry. An irrevocable talaq occurs when the husband says "talaq" three times in one sitting or when he says it once with a clear intention
