In order to strengthen legal reservations for women’s property rights in Pakistan, the Federal Shariat Court (FSC) has announced the practice of Chadar and Parichi-which puts women in their inheritance rights.
A three -member bench, headed by Chief Justice Iqbal, defeated your Rahman and issued this impact, including Justice Khadim M. Sheikh, Dr Muhammad Anwar, and Aamir Muhammad,.
The petition, which has engulfed the interests of the media as well as the interests of the media, filed a resident of Islamabad, the Federation of Pakistan and several government agencies, Syed Fawzia Jalal Shah, including the President of Pakistan, the Ministry of Law and Justice, the provincial governors, and the commission on women’s rights.
It challenged the customs of the sheets and parchi, and claimed that it had deprived women of their legal and Islamic legacy rights – especially in the district Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
In his request, he argued that the exercise would either force women to seize their share or accept less valuable property or local jirgas decisions under social pressure.
In addition, he sought personal relief for his mother, Syeda Aftihar Bibi, who was allegedly denied his inheritance under this practice, according to a copy of the decision.
The court said that rituals like sheets and parchi are against the rights given to women in the Quran and Sunnah. Forcing women to abandon their inheritance under social pressure, it ruled, violating both Islamic teachings and law.
The court ordered action against the violators under section 498 and emphasized the need for severe implementation of awareness campaigns and inheritance laws to protect women’s rights.
During the hearing, it was revealed that the sheets and the traditional traditions are practiced in Bannu. However, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government denied the existence or importance of such rituals.
The court ruled: “However, the application has been partially accepted under which the applicant seeks relief to announce a local custom, according to his spiralit in the district Bannu, with the name of KP, Chidar or Parichi, and the women of the area are declared in their ancestral rights, or any of their traditions. Do not have any legal power in the KP district or any part of the country, with a “parichi” or any other name, which is fully or partially inherited by the reason for which it is inherited because of the fact that it is sacred, because of the fact that the inheritance of women is inherited or partially. The principles of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, so false and illegal, can be punished.
“We further declare that all or such customs or use, which in any way affects women’s inheritance rights, regardless of the name through which it is called or known in any area of the country, is non -Islamic and illegal, and under the guilt of such a crime, it demands an act of committing a crime, such as an act of commitment, 1991, 1991, 1991. The state has an important duty.
According to transparency International, even in cases where women have legal rights on paper – such as in Pakistan – the reality is often different. The Rights Group added that systematic corruption and discrimination often hinders women to exercise their rights and claim their fair share in the society.
