Council of Islamic Ideology deals another blow to human rights in Pakistan

When someone tells me about how women in the west are exploited, I'm tempted to point out that those women are given half their husbands' properties and assets whenever they're divorced. Of course, when women divorce their husbands, they too have to surrender half their properties and assets.

In another major blow to human rights, the Council of Islamic Ideology has held that it's okay for underage children to marry after attaining puberty. What's wrong with these people? How can they tolerate girls aged nine to become mothers? 

In another ruling, these learned men have decreed that after women are divorced and have complete their iddat (waiting period of four months and ten days), their ex-husbands are not liable to pay them anything for food and living expenses. How will the poor women raise their children? So now we know why there are so many female beggars on our streets! And so much for our women's rights and them being treated much better than women in other countries!

You know what these stone-aged people should do? They should invest heavily in cloning, that way they will only have male children. Or they should all migrate to an uninhabited island and live there and not ever see a woman!
