Arbitration Council is an institute which is the central office of all the union councils in a district. It has lots of functions but generally it gets divorce cases which are filed under section 7 and section 8 of Muslim Family Law Ordinance 1961.
Whenever a notice is issued to Chairman Arbitration Council, he/she is bound to accept it if its filed in the proper jurisdiction. Further notices are issued to the other party for reconciliation proceedings. There are three reconciliation proceedings in total at the end of every month.
The parties are at liberty to reconcile during proceedings. If they fail to reconcile during proceedings and 90 days pass by, divorce happens and ultimately divorce certificate is issued. Apart from divorce other decisions on the issues between parties are also made in the proceedings. However implementation of other decisions is only possible through family court,
