• W24353688 abstract "This article discusses the mistreatment of women in Pakistan, including practices like the of a young girl to the Quran, requiring her to spend her life at home reciting the Quran or be killed. The authors argue that the oppression of women in Pakistan does not have its roots in the Quran, but in pre-Islamic tribal customs, especially popular in rural areas. Many of today's Islamists and hardliners justify their treatment of women by claiming they are taught by the Quran. To the contrary, this article explains that many policies and laws on marriage and women's education are methods of control to protect power and property. Those who label these policies as promoted by the Quran are ascribing a false legitimacy, because they are not promoted by the Quran. In addition to describing many women's rights violations, the article promotes a few of a modern Islamic society that both retains fidelity to the Quran and provides equal rights to women.Pakistan is suffering from multiple imbalances: gender, class, ethnic, sectarian and religious. But gender imbalance seems to be the one that now haunts the social, public and state environment. A recent worldwide survey ranked Pakistan as one of the most dangerous places for women.1-Sarwar BariWomen [in Pakistan] became the victims of a culture of exclusion and male dominance.-Benazir Bhutto, Prime Minister of Pakistan speaking in Beijing, China, September, 4 1995Even before Pakistan achieved independence in 1947, its founding father, Muhammad Ali Jinnah2 (1876-1948), had strongly encouraged women to play an active role in the country's affairs. He declared that without women's participation, the new nation could not progress. Today, however, Pakistan faces grave problems and challenges because its women, who make up a majority of the nation's population, have always been ignored by both the state and society at large.Pakistan was expressly created as an Islamic state, but many Pakistanis have not followed Islamic teachings concerning the treatment of women. The teachings of Islam provide full protection and security for women, but in Pakistan the majority of women are suppressed and victimized by their own family members. Although there are clear provisions both in Islam and in the 1973 Pakistani Constitution to provide respect, safety and equal rights for women, Pakistan remains a male-dominated society where women still struggle to achieve their basic rights. Several amendments have been added to the constitution to enhance political and economic rights for women, but the State has miserably failed to implement its own laws to protect them. A number of female politicians, notably Benazir Bhutto, have been killed when they raised their voices against extremists and anti-female forces. Women are frequently abused by law enforcement agencies such as the police and army.Today Pakistani women are still classified into three groups: elite class women, middle class women, and lower class women. Each of these classes is treated differently. Honor killings, forced marriage, and unprovoked violence against women are common in many areas. This treatment even extends to women who are elected to the national parliament where they are often humiliated by male parliamentarians.It goes without saying that Pakistani women have the potential and capacity to excel in every field of endeavor, but they very often cannot exploit their talent in this chauvinistic male-dominated society. Those few women who are safe, protected, and have established themselves in their professions are fortunate to have the strong support of their family members. Unfortunately, these few women cannot change the mindset of society at large nor are they able to become major pillars of the nation.This paper will analyze how middle and lower class women are living in Pakistan today. We will look at such questions as: How does Pakistan's elite ruling class treat women? …" @default.
