Those people argueing on this very thread are actually the victims of that said equality!
Equality in "treatment" is understood...meaning be police, nice, compassionate and all to both....But when physiologically, psychologically, anatomically, morphological, and every other science screams out men and women ARE different, who are we to force them 100% equality?
I am not advocating you to go and start treating anyone less...But acknowledge the difference....Not so much as our laws which have somehow excluded women justice altogether and def not like Western laws where ex husbands have to beg repeatedly to just see their children!
Sure man made laws are what they are MAN MADE....they are bound to have flaws, the thing is realizing and FIXING the flaw not dwelling on it by ONLY acknowledging it!
1 the huge text is called emphasis...when I make it bold people miss it...but no one misses caps!
As for the problems you have not shown
me any problem....MANY on this thread have hand picked out of context some words but totally taken out of context with phobia of some form following!
Ok I will go through your "fear" and show you how unreasonable you sound..
1st part of your "fear"
If you have read the bill there are a few things in it:
1) complaint
How long does our court take to even process a complaint?
2) issue of notice
Now if the guy is innocent then why wouldnt he come forward? And it is a simple test of exclusion which EVERY policeman has to do...He goes through the list of likely suspects and rules out whichever has an alibi or pulls in new suspects with motives...Howelse have crimes being investigated? Sure it is new to Pakistan but the rest of the world does follow this procedure of QUESTIONING A MAN
oh the shocker!
If a notice is issued.....Unless you dont trust our courts (by that definition NO LAW/ BILL would satisfy you), it is the DUTY of the court to CHECK WHAT IS FILED (complaint)
INVESTIGATE (the shocker that men need to be investigated now not just women must be new and prob the main cause of the fear)
BEFORE the notice is issued....Now if there is reason to doubt the man ....EVERY COURT ON THE PLANET would ask the bloody man to come clean or rot in jail! I am just not sure which planet you people have been living on that this is news for you?!
The word sufficient apparently means there is a threshold set under which men dont need to pee in their pants....until and unless they are guilty!
Now what you are crying about when it comes to men you are "accusing" women to be guilty for merely just crying and assuming they would be automatically framing the men:
AND WHAT IF SHE IS TELLING THE TRUTH? Is it not good for her to have some place to go and seek justice?
THIS "argument" shows you have no trust in the legal system of Pakistan so your cry is not about the bill but about the system! Go raise fingers about the system not about the rights given to women!
Now you have a basic problem about the house ....it is fine if she is thrown out of the house but god forbid she be allowed in and to stay?
Again your brawl is with the system coz the bill states this will only be done in case of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE not if the girl starts crying...Well, your problem is also with Pakistani mindset, if some girl starts fighting with a man or crying on the street, some men will come as her "brother" while the same men do much worse to their own women....And the same men would be too scared to "brotherly interfere" if she were being paraded naked (as has been reported in villages)...Double standards? VERY MUCH!
So if you dont want to transgress (word from the Quran) dont get involved in domestic violence it is not a must to be involved in violating women to be called a man! Be a man and dont behave like a neanderthal! The bill is simply to keep men as humans and not transgress! Read the bill within context
I have made bold and underlined the important words which none of you wish to see either coz you dont trust the courts or because you feel like playing the victim card!
2ndly,
if you fear for you life/ rights (which is sad you should be fearing when ALLAH gave the rights to women not when a bill comes up) then dont violate the rights of another!
State can punish its citizens for behaving less humanly and punish them in the hope to civilize them!
its like asking a child to behave or else his toy will be taken away
Some children never grow up and the need to apply the same rules just shows how childish some people are and how materialistic! You lot are worried about things being taken away from people who are violent to women without considering the violence the women in our nation have to suffer!
By you saying it doesnt make it crap but by you saying it contradicts the Quran, shows either you have no clue what Islam is about or you have no clue of the word contradiction!
you saying the law contradicts Islam means Islam actually asks women to be violated and get no form of justice....Kindly do get yourself checked coz my prophet never taught that so please dont even start!
