| Sindh to have women-only courts |
| 2008-09-05 |
| This is an example of Islamic era ignorance. The Sindh government it establishing separate courts for women in the province, Sindh Law Minister Muhammad Ayaz Soomro said on Thursday. The law minister told the Sindh Assembly that female judges would be appointed in the Sindh High Court (SHC) and female police deputy superintendents will be recruited. All trial cases involving women will be transferred to this system, he added. He said the Larkana District Bar Association would provide free legal aid to deserving women and widows, adding that the People's Lawyers Forum would defend women's cases in the SHC. |
