On When oath taking is required in matrimonial cases under Islamic Law

Under Islamic Law, oath is not offered to a party in a matrimonial case, except where a monetary issue or something relating thereto is involved.
In the instant case, there was no basis for the oath subscribed to by the 3rd defendant at the trial court; and it had no legal effect whatsoever.
