Women are an oppressed lot in a Muslim society.

This doesn’t even seem humanly possible in this day and age. It is tragic. Is there anyone to defend these women? Can’t ANYONE help them?

These are centuries old traditions. Only men with resources and authority can help them but why would they?

There are NO other authorities other than the ones that already BIND and ABUSE these women?

I personally believe that over the centuries, social evolution shaped the behavior of women into submissive creatures - female animals who don’t take risks for the sake of having bread and shelter. The scenario is changing even in Pakistan. Divorce rate is on a rise and many women are speaking up against abuse. The only authority that can change the scene is the self-respect and couragous spirit of these women. I beleive that things will be very different in another century or two. However, there is no quick and ready way to end these ingrained social roles and circumstances.

Submission doesn’t mean submission to sunhuman abuse. For many centuries the Macho man attitude dominated Mexico,men dominated the work force and society, but the women were treated as queens, for she dominated the mens heart, home, family, and children...Kind of odd, but true.

I hope more women stand up against this horrific abuse.. I am sure they will pay dearly, most probably with their lives, but it seems as if their very existance is being held by a thread anyways.. At least by speaking up, their deaths will not be in vain and may open the doors to a kinder future for the generations of women of Pakistan.
