The president of Pakistan pledged yesterday to ban the sale of brides along with other controversial customs that deny women basic human rights.

Gen Pervez Musharraf announced that his government would shortly push through legislation that would also ensure women's rights to their inheritance.

"A Bill is being considered to remove unjust social practices against women and it should be passed by the parliament," Gen Musharraf told a women's convention in the capital, Islamabad.
