Preserving honour through a woman's body
By Maliha Zia Lari - Advocate High Court
The criminality of rape is a contentious matter in Pakistan. Already entrenched in social stigma, the offence is so closely correlated with cultural and political conditioning, that it is difficult to treat the issue as merely a legal one.
In actuality, the crime, it's investigation and it's prosecution all reflect a deeper cultural dynamic that ultimately results in how rape is addressed in Pakistan.
In a patriarchal culture such as Pakistan's, women are viewed to be subordinate to men. They are not recognised as individuals but through their relationships, those of a mother, daughter, sister, wife. Rather, seen as a 'commodity' being transferred from one man's home (her father's) to another (her husband's), a woman must therefore be protected to maintain her best possible form until lead-time.
This prevalent mindset stems from local traditions, values and practices across the country that perpetuate pigeon-holed roles for women as mere reproducers.
The concept of ownership and with it the 'preservation' of a woman is the crest of why men exert control over restrictions of space, mobility, and behaviour among other liberties.
This control is designed to ensure that a woman does not bring shame to her family. While she is contrastingly viewed as 'fragile', the weight of upholding her family's honour starts the day a girl is born.
With such limited social standing, women often suffer the lack of financial benefits of their work, inevitably rendered as the 'family's' money. In some cases, women are not allowed to work, in many others, they are unable to due to illiteracy, resulting in permanent economic handicap.
Consequently, women are unable to leave abusive relationships where they are consistently exploited without an avenue of long-term state support.
The core reason behind the rising incidence of rape in Pakistan lies within the confines of sexual objectification – violating a woman's body for the ultimate dishonour.
This is evidenced by the punishments meted out by the illegal parallel systems such as jirgas and panchayats, that order the rape or stripping of womenwhen men in their family have committed an offence. Such systems are particularly dominant in southern Punjab, where the majority of rape cases are reported.
Furthermore, the 'giving' of women for retribution is a custom seen mostly in tribal areas where child marriages, forced marriages and honour killings are still widespread.
Almost inherently then, the society equips itself with tools of misogyny to overpower it's women. Until societal norms, and subsequently attitudes do not change, Pakistani women will continue living lives bereft of human dignit

Now you stop lying there! I have never stated that rapes only happen in India!
Be a man and admit that your obsession with Pakistan and the DFI management's leniency is the real reason for you to collect and post news articles from media with absolutely no importance or value. You love to troll!
I am well aware of the grim situation in Pakistan as well as the rest of South Asia but unlike you I don't measure success by other mans failure. It's pathetic to point fingers at others when yourself have thousands of areas where you lack development.

@jus.....Let's see how well Indians rapists are doing overseas:
Indian cab driver jailed for six years in Australia for rape
Indian sentenced to 10 years in jail in UK for raping 'celebrity guest' - TOI Mobile | The Times of India Mobile Site
Indian arrested in Hong Kong on rape charges - The Hindu: Mobile Edition
And I bet the list is long.....
So next time you start bashing Pakistan, keep in mind that we both have our demons.
