Document background
The Parent Guardian Affidavit is a crucial legal document in Pakistani jurisdiction that serves to formally establish and declare guardianship authority over a minor child. This document becomes necessary in various situations, including school admissions, medical procedures, travel arrangements, or when dealing with financial matters on behalf of the child. The affidavit must comply with the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, and relevant Islamic law principles as applicable in Pakistan. It typically contains detailed identification of all parties, the scope of guardianship powers, and supporting documentation. The document requires proper execution before an authorized Oath Commissioner and may need additional authentication depending on its intended use, such as apostille for international recognition or notarization for domestic purposes.
