Islam acknowledges the rights and privileges of the women in society. Likewise, Islam does not impose any restrictions that may hamper the social growth and development of the woman. A woman is equally important member of society. The woman plays a vital role in building the society on healthier and stronger foundations. The women in Pakistan have been constantly complaining of having being isolated from the mainstream of society.
Women feel disillusioned on being maltreated by the male-oriented set up in Pakistan.
They strongly claim that if they are given a chance, they can contribute more positively towards the development of all social aspects. However the Pakistani society usually adopts a hostile attitude towards the women. Their development in society is hindered due to many factors. Particularly the rural woman has to sustain, sometimes, unbearable dominance by the other sections of society. Numerically the women in Pakistan are almost equal to men.
