Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?
No. Qanoon explains what the statute text says in plain language — it isn't a substitute for a lawyer, and you should always verify against the cited source before relying on an answer.
Which laws are covered?
All 525 of Pakistan's federal statutes across 21 categories, sourced from pakistancode.gov.pk. Provincial laws, case law, and legal precedent aren't part of the corpus.
How current is the statute text?
Qanoon reads from the text published at pakistancode.gov.pk. Laws can be amended after that text was published, which is exactly why every answer links to the source page — check it before relying on the answer.
Do I need to sign up?
No — browsing all 525 statutes and their summaries is fully open. Asking Qanoon a question needs a free account, which comes with a starting balance of message credits.
What happens if my question isn't covered by the statutes?
Qanoon says so plainly rather than guessing or padding an answer. If the retrieved statute text doesn't address your question, the response will tell you that directly.
Is Qanoon free?
Yes — no cost, no paywall, no ads. Signing up gives you a starting balance of free message credits to ask questions with.
