Hunting for a bargain: Properties of returning Afghans going at throwaway prices

Actually this is very common in all of punjab rural areas. Hazara region is different since they have large local hindko speaking pashtun population relatively. So maybe dynamics of intermarriages in Hazara between afghan refugees and locals is different then one in punjab where its usually old chap or disabled guy with afghan wife.
So it is also happening in your neck of the woods, in AK it is happening due to very large Afghan population.

Pakistan men and women should have equal rights,
what a sexist post representative of beduin culture.
Pakistan is patriarchal and there is nothing wrong with this, so is Afghanistan.
In Islam children go by their father. There is wisdom in this.

Please tell me what wisdom is it ?

It seems you know about it, so educate me.

also, tell me on what basis are you claiming that there is nothing wrong with a patriarchal society ?

Men are the leaders of their household - this is patriarchy. It is natural.
And Islam comes from the Creator hence wisdom.

Interesting, article here, excerpts below:

PESHAWAR: As the drive to send Afghan nationals packing for home intensifies, locals in Peshawar and K-P are more interested in the properties these refugees leave behind. Shops and houses are being sold at throwaway prices, whetting the appetites of those out for a bargain.

Even those who were on great terms with these people from across the border now have an eye on their “abandoned properties”.

....

He says Pakistani authorities are even knocking on the doors of those Afghan nationals who have proof of registration cards.
“We are being subjected to the worst kind of insults and humiliation.”


So basically this new call for sending Afghans back is basically for their properties after all.

Their properties? Afghan nationals can not legally buy properties in Pakistan. However if you feel so strongly, please feel free to compensate by giving them properties and businesses in India.

But they have somehow bought properties and have been living on them for 3 decades now. This must have happened without knowledge of state agencies, right ?

They would have bought on fake papers. State will take back illegally obtained properties. Do illegal Bangladeshis buy properties in India? Are they allowed to by law. Just curious here.

Where does it say so ?

Please quote the source and the process by which you got to that conclusion.

I doubt you are any older than 17years, or at least your debating skills reflect so.

Surah An-Nisaa; Verse 34:

لرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ وَبِمَا أَنْفَقُوا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ ۚ فَالصَّالِحَاتُ قَانِتَاتٌ حَافِظَاتٌ لِلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ ۖ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلًا ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّا كَبِيرًا
Asad: MEN SHALL take full care of women with the bounties which God has bestowed more abundantly on the former than on the latter, and with what they may spend out of their possessions. And the righteous women are the truly devout ones, who guard the intimacy which God has [ordained to be] guarded. And as for those women whose ill-will you have reason to fear, admonish them [first]; then leave them alone in bed; then beat them; and if thereupon they pay you heed, do not seek to harm them. Behold, God is indeed most high, great!

I am sure that you would have guessed that I would use this ayah, no?

Patriarchy does not mean being oppressive and locking women in the house; rather Men take care of women (women do the same for men) but when push comes to shove ultimate responsibility lies with Men. This does not mean Men impose their views on their women; rather they should work together with mutual consent.

It would be great if I were a seventeen year old, what a care free age it was? (Retrospectively speaking, at the time I was stressed out with exams and university applications).

Bhai you can't deport Pakistani women so likely afghani husband will get citizenship just like it happen in other civilised countries. Now don't give exemples of arab or some other muslim country to prove a point. Pakistanis get citizenship in western countries by marrying local women all the time.
