Bill to destroy morality: Fazal
ISLAMABAD—Mutahida
Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) has opposed the Women Protection Bill (WPB)
presented in the National Assembly Wednesday and feared that the
presented bill is an attempt to make Pakistan, a Free Sex Zone.
Opposition leader in the National Assembly, Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman has
said that the draft of the bill presented in the assembly is not the
bill which was passed by Select Committee or Ulema Committee.
Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman said that it was decided that zina (adultery)
would fall in Tazir and zina-bil-jabar (rape) would fall in Hud but in
this bill no such things are mentioned. Opposition leader said that the
bill has a lot of flaws as the government is sending a message that
problems of women are related to only one clause. The women of the
country is facing a lot of problems including forced marriages and the
custom of Wata Sata.
Fazal-ur-Rehman said the government is not focusing to solve the
problems faced by majority of women and legislation is being made
contrary to Quran and Sunnah, he added.—Online |
