No culture of girlfriend in Islamic society, says SC

[Perpendicular]

The top court has rejected a bail application of accused who is allegedly involved in creating Facebook account of a female without consent and uploaded her pictures.

The two-judge bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Amir Hani Muslim, on Wednesday took up bail application, filed by a young boy namely Muhammad Munir, who is behind bars for the last two months.

The bench has asked the Federal Investigating Agency (FIA) to submit the challan within 14 days and the trial court should decide the matter within six months.

Barrister Masroor Shah appearing on behalf of the applicant submitted that Munir is a computer operator in DCO office Haripur and Shagufta, who is his classmate, is residing in Peshawar.

He contended that Munir had created the account in the name of Shagufta with her consent.

Later, she gave application to FIA against Munir for the registration of case on the charge that he created a fake account under her name.

On the query of the bench regarding their mutual relationship, the counsel replied that she is Munir’s girlfriend. Upon this, the bench remarked that there is no culture of girlfriend in an Islamic society as it is a Western concept.

After hearing the counsel’s arguments, the bench refused to grant bail to the accused.



Later, Barrister Masroor expressed apprehension over the court’s refusal and said such kind of cyber laws might be misused.

I would love for Supreme Court judges to give a comment or two on whether or not bribery is culture of 'Islamic Society' since Courts, both higher and lower, are corrupt to the core, especially lower courts' judges.

They are right on the spot. This culture of westing is bringing some serious issues here in Pakistan even resulting in some serious crimes.

Yeah sure. Girlfriend is a Western concept. Islamic society cannot have it. Only Bible allows it so the West follows it. Somebody should ask the judge what about a Islamic society in the West.

Oh for Gods sake. Its an observation, made in as a by the way statement. Which is true. The crime here was harassment online. He made a false profile, and then uploaded pictures. Without her consent. Thats the crime. And the Court is right, being a "girlfriend" under law does not provide any special privileges, which a spouse might have.

An asshole creates a fake profile uploads somebody's pics without consent ... Girl approaches cyber crimes unit... They put him behind bars...

The asshole claims she was his girlfriend... SC kicks his azz along with his shitty excuses.


A lot of such fake profiles are floating around .. Blackmailing women etc.. It's good that the "law" is takin stern action against such lowlife scumbags.

I would have thought Indians would be more understanding of this. There is now a stalker culture India where Indian men will harass and intimidate women on social media and in some extreme cases, in the real world, looking for a girlfriend to have "sax" with due to this obsession over "girlfriendships".

Did this happen in India or Pakistan? I'm sorry I can't tell, the thread is opened by Indian so I assume its local Indian news?

Can you quote me where bible allows the girlfriend stuff ???

Bible allows it? You mad?

Chimerical Testament, Book of Deuteronomy! Go check!

It says you can have as many girlfriends as you want! Just only one wife. You can have multiple girlfriends even after marriage.

The bible as per in Black writing is what ''God'' told Christendom. There is no passage that restricts how many wives they can have. That is why you have Mormons who practise polygamy. Only Islam came and put a restriction on number of wives and set conditions.

there is no culture of girlfriend in an Islamic society as it is a Western concept.

These miscreants need to be made an example of and any other ''would be'' offender thinks twice about committing such lewd act. Maar, Maar ki kal uthardos!
