Shared Parenting - The Pakistani Perspective by Fahad Ahmad Siddiqi
Shared Parenting – The Pakistani Perspective by Fahad Ahmad Siddiqi is a pioneering and reform-driven work that challenges the traditional, adversarial model of child custody in Pakistan. Drawing upon over two decades of courtroom experience, this book introduces a child-centric legal framework rooted in Pakistani law, Islamic jurisprudence, and international human rights standards.
At its core, the book advocates a shift from exclusive custody battles toward shared parenting, emphasizing that a child’s welfare lies in maintaining meaningful, continuous relationships with both parents. It critically examines outdated legal structures such as the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, and proposes progressive reforms including at-home visitation, joint custody models, and psychologically informed decision-making.
Combining legal analysis, case law, practical litigation strategies, and interdisciplinary insights from psychology and child development, this work serves as an essential resource for lawyers, judges, policymakers, and parents alike. It not only explains the law but redefines it offering a transformative vision for a more humane, balanced, and child-focused family justice system in Pakistan.
