The Government is consulting other Islamic governments whether the honour killing (Karo-Kari) is Islamic or not. And, can the State be the Wali in certain cases to protect a woman against the inhuman atrocity likely to be meted out to her by the other members of her family?
Kindly allow me to request the government that for such an extremely important matter it should seek the opinion of the enlightened and forward-looking Islamic countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Iran etc instead of some of the other countries where orthodoxy still rules supreme.
Conformists, whether in Jamia Al-Azhar, the Islamic Ideological Council of Pakistan or anywhere else still cannot rise to the demands of modern times. And they shall be doing so till we open the doors of Ijtehad to resolve such matters.
