RECORDER REPORT

LAHORE: A Bar member has approached the Lahore High Court against Protection of Women Act, 2016 pleading it as beyond the scope of Islam.

Petitioner Mehmood Akhtar Naqvi said the Holy Quran has declared men superior to women but this law has made them equal to women. He argued that no law can be passed against the Islam and contrary to Sharia.

He therefore prayed to the court to set aside the law

for being contrary to Constitution.
