۴۔ جھوٹا حلف نامہ جرم ہے

And remember: a false affidavit is a crime. It is punishable under Sections 193 and 199 of the Pakistan Penal Code [Tazeerat-e-Pakistan (Pakistan Penal Code)].

Sections 193 and 199 of the Pakistan Penal Code — a false affidavit is punishable.

Law referred to: Stamp Act 1899 + provincial stamp rules; Punjab e-Stamping (e-stamping.punjab.gov.pk) — the stamp paper is bought against a bank challan. Judicial stamp paper for court filings, non-judicial for agreements/affidavits. An affidavit is sworn before an Oath Commissioner. A false statement on oath is an offence — PPC s.193 (false evidence) / s.199 (false statement in a declaration receivable as evidence).

In the light of the Quran and Sunnah

An affidavit is a statement made with Allah as witness. The Quran commands avoiding false testimony (Al-Hajj 22:30; Al-Furqan 25:72) and giving true testimony for justice "even if it be against yourselves" (An-Nisa 4:135).

A false affidavit is therefore both a sin and a crime (Pakistan Penal Code sections 191–193).
