The legislative assembly of Pakistan has enacted several measures designed to give women more power in the areas of family, inheritance, revenue, civil, and criminal laws. These measures are an attempt to safeguard women's rights to freedom of speech and expression without gender discrimination. These measures are enacted keeping in mind the principles described by the Quran.[1]
Laws such as the Muslim Personal Law of Sharia (addressing a woman's right to inherit all forms of property), the Muslim Family Law Ordinance or MFLO (intended to protect women against practices regarding marriage, divorce, polygamy and other personal relationships), and the Hudood Ordinance have been legislated to ensure the rights of women. The Hudood Ordinance was seen as working at cross-purposes to the rights of women by victimizing women only, which was corrected by the introduction of Women's Protection Bill.
The Sexual Harassment Bill was created to ensure women's safety in public and work spaces, while the Prevention of Anti-Women Practices Bill sought to constitutionally protect women against discriminatory social practices, such as forced marriages, which can deprive women of their inheritance rights.[2] The bill incorporated strong penalties for offenders. The Acid Control and Acid Crime Prevention Bill was aimed at controlling the import, production, transportation, hoarding, sale, and use of acid, as well as providing legal support to acid burn victims.[3] Penalties include imprisonment anywhere from fourteen years to life and fines up to 1 million rupees.
