PREFACEThe culture, violence, politics and law are interlinked and mutually conditioning domains ofa society. The four aspects play an important role in determining the respective status of differentgroups in a particular society. Men and women are two important groups universally inhabiting allthe societies. The cultural, social, political and legal aspects of society differentially affect the statusof men and women in it. Pakistani society is not an exception to this universal fact.Pakistani culture is combination of various ethnic, religious and sectarian sub-cultureswhere women’s place and status is very rigidly limited. Pakistan is a patriarchal society where mendominate women in all aspects of social life. The social, political, economic and religious structuresand processes serve as the main sources to strengthen and consolidate the authority of Pakistanimen in larger part of the society. The same social structures and processes, as dominated by men,do not equally provide for Pakistani women’s personal and social development and legalprotections. Pakistani women lag behind men in their educational, health, economic and politicalstatus. The lower level of personal and social development makes them more vulnerable to differentforms of violence and crime as compared to men. The prevailing and overarching patriarchal culturethrough socialization and strict control reduced any chance of raising voice for protest andretaliation by women to almost none. Rather, the socialization received throughout life makeswomen internalized the submissiveness and obedience as patriarchal bargaining strategies tomaximize their interests within the existing social structures.The power dynamics show the differential social and cultural upbringing and status ofindividuals and groups in a society. Pakistani culture through its manifestations in the form of socialinstitutions is responsible for prevailing gender inequalities in the country. Women have to facesocio-cultural constraints and they are culturally pushed to stay in home remain mostly busy doingunpaid domestic chores. This way of social organization curtails their chances to enter the public,economic and political spheres of the society. Although, the discriminating social and culturalframework can possibly be altered through focused legal reforms but the law serves the interest ofthe groups who dominate the law making institutions. As a consequence of their low level ofparticipation in public and political life, Pakistani women are marginally represented in law makinginstitutions. Therefore, the laws formulated in the men dominated institutions are not sufficient tolaunch the reforms needed for altering the harmful aspects of culture conditioning of differentialstatus of men and women, making the later more vulnerable to violence and crime.The vicious cycle starts with cultural conditioning of social institutions, assigning differentialstatus to men and women in them, leading to unequal distribution of political power, resulting informulation of discriminatory laws which again end up in preserving and fostering a culture thatdifferently conditions the status of men and women in society. Therefore, there is a dire need tostudy, explore and alter the four aspects of culture (in it manifestations in social institutions),violence, politics and law to improve the status of women by curbing the prevailing discriminationand violence against women in society.Pakistani women’s poor education, health and workforce participation leads to theirsubordinate status making them vulnerable to violence and crime. It further reduces women’schances to reach the decision making and authority positions in society. Thus, women aremarginally represented in political and legislative forums. The laws and policies formulated in thesepolitical institutions are not sufficiently serving women’s interest to improve their educational, socialand economic status in society. Therefore, the need is to break this vicious cycle by deliberatelygiving an equal participation to Pakistani women in political and legislative institutions forformulation of gender sensitive policies and laws that may ensure women’s improved participationin social institutions by legally curbing discriminatory social practices and violence against womenin broader society.7

This book is written as an effort to explore and analyse these interlinked aspect of Pakistanisociety for better understanding of students and scholars. The book focuses on the impact ofculture, social institutions, violence, politics and laws on women in the context of Pakistani society.It provides detailed description of structures and processes with the help of statistics, suitable casestudies, and other texts to portray overall status and role of women in social, cultural, political andlegal domains of Pakistani society.Dr. Naima TabassumCommented [d1]: the name is added

I could not be what I am, without their precious emotional and moral companionship. Ipay gratitude to all my teachers. The most important one of them is Prof. Dr. Yakin Ertürk, who ismy academic mother. I feel honour to acknowledge the grooming of my mind and skills on the topicsof women, feminism, and research under her guidance.Being a teacher, I always want to remain as a perpetual learner. This cannot happenwithout the presence of students in the life of a teacher. I am thankful to all students, I have evertaught, for giving me a forum for discussions, explorations and learning during teaching. Iacknowledge the support of Ms. Farkhanda Warsi for helping me to get some case studies andstatistics composed on computer to be reproduced in this book. I am also thankful to all the authors,scholars, and organizations consented for their research material to be included in this book.Of course, this task could have not been completed without the most precious inspirer,contributor and stakeholder of this book that is Pakistani women. Pakistani women give meinspiration and courage to continuously bear, struggle, compete and win the world. Their livesprovide me opportunities to build hypotheses, make observation of real life and conclude andrecommend better prospects for an egalitarian society.I am especially thankful to the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) forproviding me this opportunity to conceive and accomplish this book under its unique initiative of theTextbook and Monograph Writing Scheme.

CHAPTER - 1ABOUT THE BOOKThis book is aimed to provide the contextualized knowledge in comprehensive wayregarding social, cultural, legal and political structures and processes determining and effectingstatus of women in Pakistan. This chapter aims to give a nut shell introduction to the background,purpose, methodology and structure of this book. It highlights the aim of writing the book and clearlyexplains the types of primary and secondary data, methods of its collection, and techniquesemployed for analysis used in writing this book.As the multidisciplinary field of women’s studies is relatively new in Pakistan, it is forced toaccommodate the existing lack of context specific researches, studies and books to include incurriculum for students by relying on foreign authored books or the sporadic topic specific materialproduced by NGOs and interest groups to satisfy donor’s interests. Therefore, there is a need toinvest in and produce the local contextualized knowledge based on Pakistan’s national ideologies,philosophies, and local realties with an honest criticism of that all.Accordingly, the intention of writing this book was to provide basic text resource for teachingand learning at postgraduate level in women’s studies departments of universities in Pakistan.Accordingly, following the outline provided for several courses offered in Higher EducationCommission (HEC) of Pakistan’s approved curriculum of post graduate level in women’s studies,the book mainly deals with the broader areas of social institutions, socio-cultural and legal violence,the political system, and legal framework determining and conditioning women’s place in Pakistanisociety. In general, this book covers a variety of aspects taught in women’s studies discipline. Inparticular, it addresses following four courses offered in HEC approved curriculum for MS inwomen’s studies according to the prescribed course outline: 1) Violence, human rights and justice;2) Women, Islamic laws and human rights; 3) Women and the law in the context of Pakistan; and4) Politics and feminist theory.Besides this main aim, the book is also helpful for teaching and learning of the followingcourses offered at the level of BS in women’s studies: 1) Introduction to women’s studies/genderstudies, 2) Feminist/gender theories, 3) Women and gender in Islam, 4) Women, gender and lawin Pakistan, 5) Women gender and politics (with focus on Pakistan). These courses are alreadyprescribed in HEC approved curriculum for 4 years graduate level degree of BS in women’s studies.Further, the book is helpful for teaching and learning of a course on “Gender Studies” as prescribedin HEC approved curriculum of four years BS in Sociology. It also helps the teaching and learningof the courses of sociology as it offers a great deal of critical analysis and discussion on socialinstitutions, culture, and social problems. It also can be utilized for teaching some parts of thecurriculum set for the discipline of social work as well.The scope of this book includes exploration and comparison of theoretical knowledge andempirical evidences regarding cultural violence against women, laws and law enforcing institutionsand women’s participation in politics to highlight a potential relationship between the three aspects.The geographical scope includes whole of the Pakistan including all provinces. A time to timecomparison of culture, crime, violence, laws, human rights conditions and the political systemswithin provinces is also made to make the arguments more clear. The time span of the study coversfrom post independence period till today. Utmost effort is taken to ensure giving local and contextspecific primary and secondary data collected through interviews and surveys (from secondarysources as well as done by authors) and examples and case studies (available in literature andresearches) for supporting arguments and explanations.

The theoretical contribution of the book to existing knowledge is to explore a potentialrelationship between women’s political participation and legislative appropriation to curb violenceagainst women in the country. There is no book covering the topics of culture, social institutions,violence, Pakistani laws and the political participation of women in Pakistan in an interlinked andintegrated way. The three aspects are dealt separately either in the form of research articles or inthe form of edited books in a large bulk of available literature. The aspect of violence against womenis explored in works published in the form of research papers which are dealing with separate typesof violence. Ali, Árnadóttir and Kulane (2013) have studied dowry practice and its negativeconsequences on women in Karachi. Similarly, Anjum, Malik, and Khan (1995) dealt with dowry inmarriage arrangements in Faisalabad. Gulzar, Nauman, Yahya, Ali, and Yaqoob (2012) wrote ondowry system in Pakistan. Bukhari (2010) wrote on violence against women (VAW) in SouthernPunjab. Jilani and Ahmed (2004) in a chapter of edited book wrote about VAW and legal responses.Andersson et al. (2010) dealt with the barriers to disclosing and reporting violence in Pakistan. NGOreports written by Azhar (2012) and Perveen (2013) provide a nut shell summary of statistics onviolence cases. Shaheed, Warraich, Balchin, and Gazdar (1998) in an edited book wrote on lawpractices and strategies related to women in Pakistan. The report on the Commission of Inquiry forWomen (1997) published by the government of Pakistan is also providing patches of informationon a variety of topics related to women. These are few works to name and give the reader an ideaof existing literature on this topic.The same sporadic material is available on women’s political participation. Bano (2009)wrote on problems of women in parliament in Pakistan. Syed and Tabassum (2014) wrote onwomen’s political participation in Pakistan. Several studies discuss different aspects and levels ofwomen’s political participation in Pakistan (Shaheed, Zia, & Warraich, 1998; Shirkat Gah, 2009;Syed, Tabassum, & Afzal, 2015; Tabassum, 2011; Tabassum, Afzal, & Tabassum, 2015;Tabassum, Afzal, Taherani, & Tabassum, 2014). The link between women’s political participationand the amendments of laws has also been discussed (Syed, Tabassum, & Afzal, 2013). The legalsystem and laws are also separately dealt in isolation from political aspects in different researchpapers. Weiss (2012) wrote on legal empowerment of Pakistan. In the legal descriptions, we findWeaver (2007) writing on shariah laws. Chadbourne (1999) wrote on Zina ordinance in Pakistan.Abbas and Riaz (2013) wrote on legal protection for women. Most of these studies are either writtenon theoretical or descriptive explorations or on secondary data.The author has adopted both quantitative and qualitative approaches to data collection andanalysis for writing this book. It is based on primary and secondary data. The quantitative andqualitative secondary data is collect

This manual describes how an existing HEC-RAS model can be added to a CHPS configuration. The assumption is that the HEC-RAS model runs in the HEC-RAS GUI without any errors. From there, the several steps to include the model in CHPS are explained. Since the HEC-RAS GUI is Windows based, it is required to have a Windows machine available.
