Transferred property in lieu of dower

Transferred property in lieu of dower mentioned in the Nikahnama duly registered.

The marriage was not registered as per section 5 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961 with the Nikah Registrar duly licensed for the area where the Nikah took place. 
Had the marriage of the petitioner with Fazal Wadood been registered as per requirement of law and Fazal Ahad, father of Fazal Wadood transferred any property in lieu of dower to the petitioner, the same would have been mentioned in the Nikah Nama prescribed by Muslim Family Laws Rules and then in such a case, there was no need to execute a dower deed separately and the property mentioned in the Nikah Nama (as prescribed in Family Laws Rules) would stand transferred in the name of the petitioner and the judgments cited by the learned counsel for the petitioner would have helped her.
