Honor killing and female lawyers in Pakistan: Comprehensive, even so, certain other forms of sexual harassment do not currently fall within its purview and are therefore not specifically punishable, although this law is quite. Recommendations of female lawyers in Pakistan :   The punishment is enhanced to rigorous imprisonment and extended to a term of five years. The law is expanded so that written material, photographs, and all forms of vulgar displays are made punishable. Honor killing The Commission is concerned at the practice of some courts taking a lenient view of what is, in their eyes, "honor killing. This is objectionable on two counts according to female lawyers in Pakistan. They Think Honor Killing Make Them Strong and Respectable: First, it mitigates murder. Thereby it becomes a strong encouragement to other murders of the kind. It makes them look respectable. And thus it waters down the basic judicial prohibition against anyone taking the law int

Women laws and law firms in Pakistan: According to the law firms in Pakistan the family planning is un-Islamic is quite contrary to the actual position comprehensive study (schedule to this report) has discussed the Islamic viewpoint on family planning thoroughly it concludes that family planning is permissible on the authority of the Holy Quran itself, from various traditions and opinions of various Islamic jurists and scholars. Several law firms in Pakistan hold that family planning is not only permissible but desirable. The reasons cited for it include avoidance of labor pains, an excessive number of woman's fear that her beauty may get affected. The night of deciding to control fertility rests with each of the spouses. Where termination of pregnancy or abortion is concerned, a substantial body of jurists has held that a woman is free to have an abortion until 120 days of her pregnancy, even without the consent of the husband. Recommendations of law firms in Pakistan: 1-   

Court marriage in Pakistan and family disputes: Why is it that in family disputes, the concerned girl or woman almost always finds her unable to get a fair deal from the prevailing system specially in case of court marriage in Pakistan? The same applies to other fields too. The odds are stacked against the woman in court marriage in Pakistan . So much so that whatever the contest she has very little chance against a man. Three major commissions or committees were set up from time to time in the past to identify the areas of discrimination against Pakistani women and suggest remedial measures and changes in the existing laws for the betterment of the tragic plight of women. Although, as asked, these bodies did make various recommendations, in practical terms little was achieved. Accepting of Girl after Court Marriage: The governments concerned often lacked the will, vision or self-confidence, or all of these, to accept most of these reforms. Even the few that were accepted

Zina and court marriage in Pakistan: The court observed that the accused was subjected to rape and was a victim, "never a consenting party" to Zina after court marriage in Pakistan. Legal assistance to women prisoners is rare, even where they are granted bail by the courts; they are handicapped by not being able to come up with the required surety. At times, courts have also ruled that surety can only be furnished by a close male relative of the prisoner. This virtually deprives her of the right to bail particularly where the pursuers are family members. For criminal liability under qazf, Zina, and rape a girl is considered an adult at the age of 16 or when she attains puberty, which can be as early as 10 or 11 years old for court marriage in Pakistan . For boys, the age is fixed at 1o or when puberty. Offences against Property Ordinance and the Prohibition Order: Under the Offences against Property Ordinance and the Prohibition Order, the age for an adult is 18

Sexual harassment and female lawyer in Pakistan: The provision leads in almost every case of rape or attempted rape to the woman's character becoming the accused first line of defense. The woman thus becomes a Victim twice over -- first of rape or attempted rape, a second time of determined, hair-splitting bid to somehow find and blow up immorality in her background. The provision is thus a source of much legalistic viciousness and is a major deterrent against women taking their complaint to the courts through female lawyer in Pakistan . Recommendations of female lawyer in Pakistan Advocate Nazia: The provision should be repealed. The criminal justice system around the world has been recognizing the unfairness of it. There is no support for it in Islam either. Violence against Women: Violence against women and girls has been described as the most pervasive violation of human rights. It has become a major area of concern in Pakistan in recent years as more information abou

Assemblies and female lawyers in Pakistan: Where the mode of filling in these seats is concerned, there has been a difference of opinion even among the main political parties. While various methods have existed over different periods of Pakistan's history, the last mode for filling in reserved seats in the NA and PA of Inquiry for Women and female lawyers in Pakistan was through elections, the PML(N) suggested doubling of the number of seats to 40 and possible methods for doing so. The first was that of direct elections to these seated in direct election by members of the respective no after the 1009y members of the respective houses. The second was of “ugh proportional representation, on the basis of the number of votes received by each party. The indirect method of election for women's reserved seats and female lawyers in Pakistan has not proved to be beneficial. It does not lend credibility to women representatives, since they remain dependent on and accountable to the

Proxy marriage law in Pakistan: So complete is the preclusion of the possibility that a woman might ever be the "envoy of a foreign external power" or an "enemy alien", that the law leaves a huge loophole even after proxy marriage law in Pakistan . Surely the law- makers did not intend to suggest that children born in the result of proxy marriage law in Pakistan to female envoys or female enemy aliens will be citizens of Pakistan by birth whereas those born to male envoys or male enemy aliens will not be! It is obvious that the oversight is the consequence of the dismissive manner in which women are thought of, and hence, treated. Recommendations: Section 4: Every occurrence of the words "his" and "father" be replaced with "his or her" and "either person respectively. Section 5: Every occurrence of the word "father" is replaced by "parent2.2.3. Section 8:   Every occurrence of the words father" an

Victims of Khula Procedure in Pakistan: A more disturbing recent trend is the increase in the incidence of rape of young girls and minor Rape and sexual assault on minors and young women after khula procedure in Pakistan remains one of the commonest crimes Pakistan, mostly of victims forcibly kidnapped and victimized It is difficult to assess the extent incidence since the crime is mostly not reported whether because of the social stigma or because the law and legal procedures are heavily weighted against a victim. The common assumption the incidence is thrice the number of reported cases may be an underestimation. Basic Reported Cases Alone: The estimate is that a rape after khula procedure in Pakistan occurs every three hours in Pakistan. Of the cases reported in 10 days in 1996 from just one geographical area of Punjab, 20 victims were minors, the youngest being 8 years of age; all the victims belonged to the lowest income group. Information compiled from reports

Qisas and criminal lawyer in Lahore Pakistan: Parliament should examine in depth the question of evidentiary requirements in the Holy Quran and Sunnah and consult criminal lawyer in Lahore Pakistan and develop principles that are fair and non- discriminatory. It should then spell these out for the courts in ways that make them clear and easy to interpret. Badal-i-sulh (Section 310) This section allows in case of qatl-i-amd for an adult, sane wali of the victim to compound his right of qisas by accepting badal-i-sulh--, but with the proviso that 'giving a female in marriage shall not be a valid badal-i-sulh' That leaves possibility of the intent of the law to be circumvented even though the word is honoured. The practice of criminal lawyer in Lahore Pakistan handing over a female for Badal-i-sulh may continue informally unless the law specifically prohibits this custom. Legislation to Punish the Handing Over: The Parliament may, therefore, consider legislation t

Rights of women and lawyer in Lahore: The question of the rights of women and lawyer in Lahore in our society has always been a very painful subject or discussion or research. Talking about women brings to mind grave injustices perpetrated upon them throughout history. Even in the present so-called modern times, with the 21st Century just round the corner, except for very few countries we live in a male-dominated world. Women, in general, have been subjected to all kinds of sufferings, inequities, injustices, oppression, and harassment. They have been treated as chattels and as personal possessions of men. Though more or less equal in number with men, they have always remained the weaker section of society. In the early period of human history perhaps there was some explanation, though not justification, for the dominant position acquired by men. The challenges of survival in caves and jungles then were all physical and his relative strength and freedom from child-bearing made it p

Females in Dar ul Aman Lahore: Among the hundreds of complaints annually made against couples marrying without the consent of their families, the charge usually made is that of the boy having abducted the girl. The two are then detained, the latter informally in Dar ul Aman Lahore . The detention sometimes goes on for years as the trail winds its way. The idea mainly is somehow to keep tormenting the couple. The Commission visited Dar ul Aman Lahore where they recorded statements of women to discover that a substantial number of them were locked up simply for the "crime of marrying by choice. Recently File Case of Murder of Woman Buried by Dar ul Aman: A few weeks after the Commission's visit to the Dar ul Aman Lahore, it was reported in the press that one such female was shot dead while being taken to the court for recording her statement. Zubaida was murdered in broad daylight. She was buried by the staff of Dar ul Aman Lahore as no one came forward to claim her

Witness of Court marriage in Pakistan: Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984: Competence and number of witnesses (articles 7 and 17) these provisions leave much to the discretion of the court. It is the court that will determine the competence of a witness under the injunctions of Islam in court marriage in Pakistan . This is bound to lead to varied interpretations. In one case, for instance, the court expressly stated that in the matter of qisas the law required the evidence of two men or one man and two women. Considering that there are usually differences of opinion, strict consistency can hardly be expected. The law thus seems unfair in taxing the courts with laying down the law where varying interpretations of Islamic injunctions are possible. It may lead to much confusion and injustice. Recommendation: The provisions of the old laws are revived and if the Parliament considers it necessary to make any further change in this area, it should do so after serious debate and by reaching a conse

Citizenship and unmarried certificate in Pakistan: Citizenship and unmarried certificate in Pakistan is the very basis of all rights to nationality. If legislation in this area suffers serious neglect and is wholly discriminatory, the rights of women cannot ever be respected. Consequently, it is of particular concern to this Commission that the Pakistan Citizenship Act, 1951, contains examples of both conscious and subconscious discrimination against women. The second flowing simply from embedded habit, unmindful of implications. First, section 5 is prima facie discriminatory: Citizenship by descent: Subject to the provisions of section 3 a person born after the commencement of this Act, shall be a citizen of Pakistan by descent if his father is a citizen of Pakistan at the time of his birth and have right to unmarried certificate in Pakistan . Thus, according to this section, only children born to a Pakistani father and a foreign mother can acquire citizenship by descent. Childr

Domestic violence and dissolution of marriage in Pakistan: Males who come from homes where wife-abuse has taken place are far more likely to repeat the pattern of violence with their wives, thereby perpetuating the vicious circle of violence. Its implications for women are far more serious since they face the threat daily within the very place which is supposed to be a sanctuary for themRecommendations.1. Specific legislation on domestic Violence by husband or in-laws should be enacted after further deliberations after dissolution of marriage in Pakistan , clearly spelling out cruelty as a criminal offense. Such a definition should include mental cruelty, continuing harassment, threats, and simple injuries, as well as the more serious forms of violence2. Immediate and clear directives should be issued to the police hat all cases of domestic violence must be registered and prosecuted. There should be a monitoring body to check on effective implementation of this directive, as well a
