The PPP Human Rights cell Coordinator has expressed concern at the recent statement of the Chief of the Islamic Council of Ideology regarding reversal of the Family Law Ordinance 1961 particularly on the second marriage of males and said that this interpretation was against the spirit of equality which was the basic tenet of Islam. “Why is Islamic Ideology Council concerned with men’s four marriages and why have they done nothing to ensure that women get their property as enshrined in Islamic Law? Or why have they failed to stop practices such as vani, swara and karo kari? Or stop rape, and acid crimes against women?” asked Dr Nafisa Shah. “Unfortunately Islam has been misinterpreted over a period of time by a mindset and a particular school of thought. Islam and modernism are compatible provided progressive scholars interpret the religion”. She added The Human Rights Cell Coordinator called upon the government to include progressive Islamic scholars in the Council of Common Ideology so that women’s rights and the rights of all are protected.http://mediacellppp.wordpress.com/
