So the government has finally promulgated an ordinance for protecting parents against forced eviction by their children from home. A detailed explanation of the Protection of Parents Ordinance 2021. Here a detail of this ordinance given below.
Protection of Parents Ordinance 2021 (Explained)
Pakistan’s President Dr. Arif Alvi has issued an ordinance, “Protection of Parents Ordinance 2021” by using his powers under Article 89 of the Constitution of Pakistan 1973.
It makes the commission of such acts susceptible to punishment for a one-year jail term and fine. Even both are often awarded to those found guilty.
According to the ordinance, where a child, their spouse or offspring evicts or expels parents from a home, whether owned or rented by the kid or in their possession by the other means, they shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or with fine or with both.
However, it’s also stated that parents would have a solid right to evict a child or his spouse from the house owned by them.
According to this ordinance, a child means someone aged 18 or above. However, if a child or the spouse fails to vacate the house upon the expiry of seven days of service of a written notice of eviction from the parents, they shall be guilty of an offense punishable with simple imprisonment for a term which can be extended for one month or fine extended to Rs50,000 or with both. Before this, a written notice must be served to the child or the spouse.
According to the ordinance the deputy commissioner is fully empowered to take action against such acts or if the notice is not complied with.
If the deputy commissioner is satisfied that parents are the owners of the home in view of the official record, irrespective of the child’s defense that the house was constructed or purchased on their fund, the child may be ordered to vacate the property.
Police, under the ordinance, could make arrests without warrants in these cases and present the arrested ones before a magistrate.
Under the ordinance, both parents and their children have been given the right to appeal within 30 days.
In November last year, Law Minister Dr. Farogh Naseem discussed the proposal with Prime Minister Imran Khan to promulgate the ordinance to prescribe the right of parents to evict their children and their spouses and protect the rights of parents living with their children.

Plz suggest some opinion
Dear sister, ask your father to report it to the Police and say to them that my son is threatening me and torturing me. Next, what ever police suggest do that. Because only the Police can bar him from doing this. The rest will be decided on spot with the help of police.
There is just Parent’s protection law and all the points described here are just for the protection of the parents. What about the children who are treating them fairly and taking good care of them and in instead of being nice they misbehave with their children and tease and torture them and just spoil the peace of everyone. There is not any law for them? His wife is also tired of him and his shameful acts and his grandparents too, Where is the law for them ? … not always parents are victims, sometimes parents become this much toxic and unbearable that they don’t deserve to be with any of their children, they deserves to be stay far away.
I agree that in our society old parents are treated badly. it is a very appropriate law that solves this issue
Very Good Law, Yet it is an ordinance, it should act of parliament.
How do I serve legal eviction orders to my Son and his family.As they are mis using my home and are constantly threatening us with boderlly harm
First, if you are the real owner then, report to Police and then proceed for a suit for ejectment. Must consult your lawyer regarding this issue.
Over the decades our family values have deteriorated for so many reasons – without going into details of those factors,
I would say this law is “Forced Love” a new relationship bonding between generations.
It is very necessary that this law should be known to the public, Govt should make sure that awareness is spread about this law.
In various Districts the loca government is portraing this law. And it is a really good step.
