Lahore (Lord Media): The Lahore High Court has issued a significant ruling on the rights of minors, stating that parents cannot waive a child’s maintenance and inheritance rights through any agreement. Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani released the written judgment in response to a petition by Muhammad Waleed Arshad, establishing key legal principles regarding minors’ rights.<\/p>\n
According to the decision, the agreement between the parties involved the mother renouncing the minor child’s maintenance and inheritance rights. However, the court declared that a child’s maintenance is a continuous legal, moral, and religious obligation of the father.<\/p>\n
The court emphasized that parental consent cannot legalize any agreement that goes against the child’s interests. Any clause attempting to terminate or relinquish a minor’s future inheritance rights is deemed illegal from the outset.<\/p>\n
The court directed family courts not to accept any agreements concerning minors based solely on parental consent. Instead, a thorough review of the child’s best interests, welfare, and legal rights must be conducted in every case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
