Women’s Rights in Pakistan The article, in the first place drifted away from the actual topic in order to defend the religion in general,which is not required. This can be said because other Islamic countries like Iran,Iraq etc have granted equal status to women inspite of their religious constraints. It does not seem to justify the abuse of women in Pakistan by blaming the influence of Hindu ideological base acquired by Indian counterpart because from Human Rights Reports it can be seen that abuse of womens` rights is more than double in Pakistan than in India. So, the article serves the only purpose of defending Islam and Pakistan male society, than emphasizing the womens` issues. Ofcouse, the author seems to be well versed with the Muslim laws(Shariat,Quran etc..) which has nothing to do with womens` rights. Because what the religion preaches is not what is being practised. So, it would have been justifiable to focus, on the real issue rather than unnecessary elaboration. Good Luck to the Pakistani Women!!
