status is one of those records, which you should keep updated in NADRA's

2. Second Marriage complication
In
Islam, a woman is allowed to contract
only one marriage at a time. Two marriages at the same time is not allowed to a
women. However, after the death or divorce by her husband, she can contract
another marriage.
If a woman whose
marital status in NADRA's record is married, has been divorced by her husband but
their martial status has not been updated in NADRA's record. Such woman may
have to face difficulty in contracting another marriage because in her
Identity Card, the name of her husband may be appearing and if this is not the
case, then in NADRA's record her marital status may be appearing as
"married". So, in this case, NADRA will not register another marriage
of such woman because NADRA does not enter record of two marriages of same woman
at same time.
So, such
woman must have to change her marital status from "married' to
"divorced" so that she may not find any difficulty in contracting
another marriage.
