An Islamic marriage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_in_Islam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_in_Islam) is between a man and the wali of a woman, who gives her to the husband to be his wife, NOT a contract between the two members of the marriage. A wali is a "guardian" of a women. (or really, owner) She needs consent from her wali. Pakistan can just say "did your wali sign off on this? Nope? Well that's not a valid divorce." There's no actual legal recourse for not accepting legal agreements made in other states. Hell, many states in the US don't recognize legal (homosexual) marriages from other states.
