Comparative analysis of Family Laws in Pakistan and Islamic Injuctions in this Regard

Abstract

    “No ination can ever be worthy of its existence that cannot take its women along with the men.” Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Founder of Pakistan” (Russell & Catharine, 2007).The legal status of Muslim women, especially in family relations, has been the subject of considerable international academic and media interest. The right to marital freedom is a constitutional right in Pakistan and demonstrates that in ia country in which women’s rights are notoriously and brutally violated, female divorce rights stand as a ray of light amidst the “darkness” of ithe igeneral legal status of Pakistani women. Contrary to the conventional wisdom construing Islamic law as opposed to women’s rights, the constitutionalization of Islam in Pakistan has proven to be a potent tool in the service of women’s interests.
