Re: Are women subjugated in Pakistani society?
Totally agree with you.
I wanted to have some conditions written in my Nikahnama but molvi Saab didn't even bother to talk about it, he just wanted me to sign the papers.
But the problem is, I wasn't aware of my Islamic rights then and today when I know about them I don't let myself get manipulated by anyone, either by my siblings, my husband (yes, sometimes I win the arguments) or my inlaws.
I know it doesn't work for everyone but I'm quite sure that for most Pakistanis, religion can take over the culture even if its not in their favour.
