This is the question which is frequently asked by only women. But is this justice? Are only women questionable of their acts and not men? Is this what Islam teaches us? Well that is a big no!
Every other day women are being harassed, raped and are a victim of domestic violence. Young angels are being raped and killed. Human trafficking is also common. Drug and alcohol abuse is on its peak. There are numerous cases of murder and kidnapping every other day. Many women do not raise their voice in the name of honour. Others, who are courageous enough to raise their voice are not given justice. Culprits roam around freely. Usury, bribery and corruption is recurrent.
Are these things mentioned in Islam? Is this the foundation we based our country on? Islam believes in egalitarianism i.e. all are equal. So it’s high time we shape Pakistan according to principles laid down in Islam.
