A powerful Pakistani religious body that advises the government on the compatibility of laws with Islam on Thursday declared a new law that criminalizes violence against women to be "un-Islamic."

The Women's Protection Act, passed by Pakistan's largest province of Punjab last week, gives unprecedented legal protection to women from domestic, psychological and sexual violence. It also calls for the creation of a toll-free abuse reporting hot line and the establishment of women's shelters.

But since its passage in the Punjab assembly, many conservative clerics and religious leaders have denounced the new law as being in conflict with the Muslim holy book, the Koran, as well as Pakistan's constitution.

"The whole law is wrong," Muhammad Khan Sherani, the head of the Council of Islamic Ideology said at a news conference, citing verses from the Koran to point out that the law was "un-Islamic."

Churchs are Christian constructs ... muslims have mosques ... with separate areas for each sex. They can speak but only in their part, crossing over to male side would result in stoning at best.

Then stoning raped women for having sex outside marriage. It’s a wonder any woman would want to marry in that murderous cult.

Look at Reuters trying to shift the blame.

What evil inspires men to keep hidden all the beauty God has wrought? Oppression under any other name is still oppression. Even if Stockholm syndrome has become the norm in a large body of population.
