Different kind of violence, faced by Pakistani women’s



In Pakistani society women’s faces many problems. Despite the Pakistan is a Muslim country and Islam gives many rights to these women’s and Islam prohibited violence against women’s but women’s in Pakistani society face these problems on every level either on low and on high level. Usually most of the women are who faces these problems and violence is mostly belonging to illiterate and backward areas. There are many forms of violence and problems which these Pakistani women’s faces.
There are many forms of domestic violence in Pakistan usually in which, includes beatings, sexual violence or torture, blame on women’s that these are characterless, acid throwing and burning the women. Domestic violence in Pakistan not considered a crime and considered a family matter and private issue of a family.
Rape is one of the most common violence against women but usually on these topics victims do not talk and hide these issues from the others. Many cases of sexual harassment come on the scene in Pakistan every day. Most of the time rape violence against women considers a punishment and it usually practice to take revenge from the women’s due to any cause and family problem.
Trafficking include in the smuggling of the women. This violence against women increases day by day in Pakistan. Women from Pakistan smuggled in the foreign countries and these women are usually young and illiterate. Usually the poor women’s on the name of their betterment and economic benefits these women’s are smuggled in foreign countries.
In Pakistan there is a great issue against women, which is dowry. Many women in Pakistan burn due to the absence of dowry and after this it is claimed that it was only an accident or suicide. Although this rate decrease today but still, illiterate people of backward areas believe this that a bride without dowry not acceptable in society.
Acid throwing is also a form of violent  on womens in Pakistan as well as in other countries. Acid throw on the faces of the womens and burning them, and damages their skin. This form of violence also used to solve family disputes and property issues in Pakistan.
Head and eyebrow shaving is also a common practice of violence against womens in backward areas of Pakistan. Many issues come on scene of Head and eyebrow shaving every year in Pakistan. Usually on character of the womens blames imposed and on the name of honor their head and eyebrow removed.  
Karo Kari is the form of honor killings and violence against womens in Pakistan. Usually women’s are killed because they committed the crime of love marriage. Women in Pakistan are not allowed to marry a person of their choice. But the poor women are specially victims of this Karo Kari.
 Another common practice of violence against women in Pakistan is cutting off a women's nose on the blame of extra-marital relationship.
Qasas is also violence against women in the form of law.  Under this law if a person kills somebody and the family of the victim compromises with the killer then they are paid an agreed amount of money, land and of course women by the other family.
Marriage to the Holy Quran is very common violence against women in Pakistan especially in Sindh. Under this law a woman has to live without a husband throughout her life. Among the class of property owners it is a common practice and used to keep the land of their sisters and daughters.
Karo Kari is the form of honor killings and violence against womens in Pakistan. Usually women’s are killed because they committed the crime of love marriage. Women in Pakistan are not allowed to marry a person of their choice. But the poor women are specially victims of this Karo Kari.
Land and property rights are not given to women n Pakistan. Islam give women’s in the share of property of inheritance for their economic betterment but this right not given to the women and it is also a form of violence against womens in Pakistan.
Womens in Pakistan not given the right of decision on any issue of life they are just to obey their fathers, brothers and husbands. They do not have the right to decide about themselves because women are considered as foolish creatures according to the dominant social and cultural norms. Marriage of women’s is also a sort of trade between different families both in the rural and urban areas. This is against the violation of the rights of life of the women’s.
All these are the forms of violence, and the poor womens become the victim of this violence in Pakistan. Recently a bill passed by the parliament of the Pakistan for the purpose of save the women rights in Pakistan, but there is not such change in the behavior of Pakistani society toward womens.
