I was reading newspaper. Gone through this news. Suddenly I google "domestic violence laws in Pakistan". Literally you won't believe there is a part of law that if you are even mentally torturing a female then you are subjected to a crime and you will be held accountable for that. Terms like protection centers, shelters, women protection officer have been used in "Punjab Protection of women against violence act 2016. Even it is mentioned in the clause that" Wear ankle or wrist bracelet GPS tracker for any act of grave violence or likely grave violence which may endanger the life, dignity or reputation of the aggrieved person". Wow Cool but where is implementation. Either these acts are just wrote for blackening papers and putting it on websites to let know the world we have laws for females and thats it.
Ppl believe women in Pakistan are way independent and liberal in their conducts. Ghantaa liberal. This is just what you see in media and in posh cities like Karachi, Lahore Islamabad and some other cities Try paying a visit to Southern Punjab, KPK, Sindh. There exist a creature known as "Woman" also in mentioned places which doesn't enjoy that liberty which the women of posh cities enjoy. They are put to domestic violance, acid attacks, rapes, marital rapes, harassments, abuse, honor killings, dowry deaths. Come out of living in the world of fantasies. Welcome to the world of realism and brace yourself with these harsh realities.
Ppl are so much jealous of the word "Feminism". What if I tell you Islam first of Introduced "Feminism" 140p years ago when females particularly baby girls are burried alive. Islam gave them liberty of living and signified their standard in society. We have a mindset in our country that women are not suppose for jobs. Why not Bro. Don't you know about Hazrat Umme Ammara (RA) who so much agile and dynamic in warfares that time. Those females used to equally participate in wars fighting on front lines, playing their roles as nurses and facilitate the Muslim soldiers. Prophet (SAW) even recommended women to learn horse riding that time as when in a circumstance when husbands were out on wars there was no one back homes who can buy household articles from markets. So Prophet (SAW) emphasized females to be that skilled enough that you can run your stuff easily.
