In a depressing, but unsurprising move, President Pervez Musharraf dropped hoped for reforms on Pakistan's rape law.
At present under sharia law, a women can only have been raped if she has 4 witnesses to the crime, otherwise she can be tried for adultery. President Musharraf did say this though..
Absolutely sickening, disheartening and disgusting.
I have to ask-sharia law seems to outrightly discriminate against women-why do women support this law? How do they find peace and liberation though this combination of religion and law? No judgements, just confusion.
