LAHORE: A Pakistani court has awarded custody of Sara Sharif to her grandfather, resolving a contentious family dispute that has drawn significant public attention.

The ruling, issued on Tuesday, allows the grandfather to assume guardianship over Sara and her siblings, following concerns regarding their welfare.

The court’s decision comes after a series of hearings where evidence was presented regarding the children’s living conditions and the suitability of their guardians.

Legal representatives for the grandfather argued that he is best positioned to provide a stable environment for the children, while the children’s parents were absent from the proceedings.

This ruling has broader implications for family law in Pakistan, particularly in cases involving child custody.

Legal experts suggest that the decision may set a precedent for future custody battles, emphasizing the importance of the child’s best interests in judicial determinations.

Looking ahead, the court has scheduled follow-up hearings to monitor the children’s adjustment to their new living situation and to address any further disputes that may arise.

The family is encouraged to seek mediation to resolve ongoing issues amicably.
