Woman as a Poker Deal?
I just feel sick after reading this. After infinite claims by women right’s activist Mr.Musharraf, our women are still suffering, even suffering more. According to Today’s DAWN:
KARACHI, March 4: When she was one, Rasheeda Begum’s late father promised to marry her off to a relative to settle a poker debt. Fifteen years later, the man came to collect his winnings
Her mother Nooran Begum said her late husband Rahib was a gambler and lost Rasheeda in the game with his friend Lal Haider in 1992. He promised to give his daughter to Haider in lieu of Rs10,000. She said she paid off the debt several years ago, following her husband’s death.
Oh my God!!! How can a father sell his daughter? am I living in 2007 or pre-Islamic Arab where people used to gamble,kill their daughters? I feel more sick because the guy would claim to be a Muslim as well.
Can some govt official tell me how their friggin WPB going to help this poor woman? Which clause can help her? All I know that a girl raped in Obaro still demanding justice. I see how our secular class going to help this poor girl.
