look at the 4th edition of this book and read at the page 40. it says...
Women's right grew, bit by bit, in the three decades after independence, but they were cutt off at the ground by general Zia. His foremsot act of official misogeny was the Hudood Ordinance of 1979, imposing principles os Islamic criminal law on certain aspects of Pakistani law, including on adultery and rape.
Pregnancy without marriage was presumed to be evidence of adultery rather than rape (THIS IS THE PART WHERE I GOT MAD THAT SOMEONE LITERALLY WROTE DOWN SUCH IDIOT SENTENCE LIKE THIS ONE), and as a woman's testimony was given half the weight of a man's, rape victims have often been punished for adultery while the rapist went free. Benazir Bhutto failed to modify any of these laws, and Nawaz Sharif has only allowed more of the same.
I need your help guys, we have to protest what the lonely planet has written about our culture. Their webpages are http://www.lonelyplanet.com
we should stop this nonsense.
