Re: Pakistani Girls…
East and the West are miles apart in most things. In the west, women have no other option than to work. Whereas in the east, the parents (guardian) usually take care of the women till they are married and after that the husband (guardian) does. Women have the option to work or not work unless circumstances are tough.
As for contributing to the household, in Islam(Pakistan is predominantly Muslim) , even if the woman is working, nobody has the right over what she earns.
If a woman gets divorced, her guardian is responsible for her financially. She can choose to start working if she wasn’t working previously. Anyone can start working at any time they want, as long as they don’t expect to be a CEO on day one.
