Yesterday it was phathans doing the same, Today it was this girl, tomorrow it would be other girls in punjab then it would be baloch then sindhis and you and after that it would be me. If this is what people do after reading QURAN 5 times a day and this is how ISLAMIC STATE should be then I am proud to be a MUSLIM in INDIA.

I agree with Rajesh. We need ijtihad when it comes to women's rights in islam. Islam does not recognize women in equal status to men (nor does any other religion). As soon as a girl is born discrimination starts, one goat is sacrificed on aqeeqa ceremony for girl and two for boy…why is that??? She has to obey her father before she gets married and has to obey her husband after getting married. She is not allowed to make any decisions or do anything without her husband’s permission. She cant work without husbands permission, consequently, she always stays financially dependent on him. An adult who is not able to take care of herself financially will always be a weak person. If a husband and wife has a disagreement, a husband can be a judge and can even physically hit her if she "disobeys" him. She gets half the share in property than her brothers get and half the share in property of her kids as a mother as compare to what her husband gets as a father. A husband can have four wives and she cant even divorce her husband. She has to go to court and prove it to the judge why she wants khula; on the contrary, a husband can divorce her anytime without justifying his act to any court/qazi. Her witness is considered half as if she does not have any mental capability. List goes on and on and on….

I'm happy pakistani women are treated as second class citizen.No newspaper talks about the plight of minorities.It a biased society and your people deserve to be stripped of their dignity.

To all of you, not denying crimes against women do not happen in India; but crimes of this monstrosity so common in Pakistan is still something rare to see in India; one or two shooting cases or dowry deaths cannot compare to the way acid is thrown on women in Pakistan. But let this not be much publicized; and thank god a vast majority of Indians still do not either know or have the courage to commit this most cruelest crime of all.

I think the biggest problem of Pakistan that everyone think they are a very good Muslim in the whole world. I would say they may be Muslims but they dont act as a Muslim and think do 5 time pray and roza in ramzan will be good enough and I think Mohammad PBUH present the hoqu qul Ebad first and pray after that. I believe performing the pray 5 time and reading Quran is not effecting on you its mean you are wasting you time and those Aammal will slap back on your face at the day of judgement.
Our leaders should emphasis and use their influence to do the good deeds all the time not just for their Jalsas

I second @M5. It is the poor state of the society, which is there because it has left Islam. I am a husband, you should read on the rights of wife on a husband. The behaviour we witness, is the amalgamation of lack of education, empathy, ignorant of the teachings of Islam and society (which we are a part of). Every individual needs to stand up for Fakhra.

Tarun I'm from india too – what do u mean by "Pakistan never sees to amuse us non muslims" . We have more muslims than there are in Pakistan. Secondly, crime against women in our own country is not anywhere close to being addressed so why are we making it a matter of religion or country . ITs a crime .Full stop
