I agree. Everyone should have an absolute right to renounce religion. Its a personal choice. Only then you can be free.

Though I wouldn’t say go that far, it is true that where religion has taken a stronghold, women (along with various sections of society) are oppressed. Take Salem as an example…

I agree with equal pay and laws that protect women against violence but not with the fact that a woman should be able to dress provocatively in public, We have the west and their demolished social and moral structure as a clear example of what this leads to. We have a culture and values that women must adhere to proudly. Modesty protects them from objectification which is one of their goals anyway.

Superbly written, and I agree with the central message that women’s rights have to more than mere “respect” and keeping it in the family. Just like laws that kill minorities and religious dissidents, the overall mindset and legal system of Pakistan ends up making the culprit out of a rape victim, or even a divorcee. The last line of the article is a perfect call-to-action

Bravo for speak up abt women rights!!!!!!!!!! Good article no doubt.
But I am yet to see south east asian feminist / women rights activits to write strongly for woment rights based / ordered by Quran and not as per their own modern thinking / enlightenment.

But i read many westerner women inspite of having all rights/freedom converted to islam and vowes for rights as per islamic rulings.

Just think over this other then relation to my write up and with a open mind (not pro / against this comment)…

Very bold and truthful blog on condition of women in Asia.i do not think any changes possible as there is no political will due to corrupt system as delhi incident of brutality demonstrated.we need fundamental political changes and change in attitude towards women we have a lot to learn from west.

Lou, in a country like Pakistan, sexuality, for both men and women, is relegated to one’s private domain; the benefits of keeping it there far outweigh the benefits of bringing it into the public domain.

Human beings have teeth appropriate for carnivores. Gorillas and chimpanzees are carnivores.

“Shari” was made to protect women from objectification. as long as women follow sharia and modesty, and refrain to follow western version of womens liberation. women will always be safe and there will be no question of objectification of women.
