Even if we don`t want to believe it, in Pakistan there are laws that favor men and put women in a position of guilt when they are the real victims.
If a man throws acid or hot oil in the face of his wife, he can go to the police and say that she had a domestic accident. Even the Constitution of the country stated that if a man found his wife having sex with another man, he could kill them both and still would not go to jail; this is called Honor Killing or Karo Kari. Even for men to remain cleared of any charges, a lot of women are not valued as citizens, so before the law she doesn`t exist because she doesn`t appear in the records.
Even Pakistani culture has been badly influenced by some religions, like the Mullahs and Taliban tribes, where they marry their daughters at an early age to men considerably older and they also are use as currency to pay off a debt.
At
what level of superiority can get men of these cultures, how can
women be seen as an object, like garbage and not as a human being,
these poor women have no voice or vote, they have no right to
anything, many of them die when the real criminals are free, and
although many people stand to fight these "laws", their
thinking will continue in the same way.
I feel very sorry and anger at being unable to do anything for women living in a society like this, where male chauvinism exceeds limits.
Always some government spokesmen in different countries tell us that the world is changing, that societies are better, but if a part of the world is showing us otherwise, then, what kind of progress are we talking about?
