I hope the authorities have right and wise measures for implementations. Let's hope for good.

Good steps in the right direction but the mandatory prison sentence should be 25 years not 12.5 years.
Any sexual assault, attempt of sexual assault, planning of sexual assault, kidnapping, harassment of any kind whether in real life or on-line, luring/enticing/ or any attempt to harm to minors (kids under 18) should be punishable by death and cases should bye tried in speedy courts with verdict within 30 days.

ISLAMABAD:

As part of pro-women legislation, the Parliament unanimously passed on Thursday the anti-honour and anti-rape bills.

Under the new law, relatives of the victim would only be able to pardon the killer of capital punishment, but they would still face a mandatory life sentence of twelve-and-a-half years.

In the anti-rape bill, a provision to conduct DNA tests on both the alleged victim and perpetrator has been added for the first time.

Rape of minors, as well as the mentally and physically ill, would become punishable by death.

PTI wants strict punishment for killers

“Laws are supposed to guide better behaviour, not allow destructive behaviour to continue with impunity,” former senator Sughra Imam, who initially tabled the bill, told media.



Some 500 women are killed each year in Pakistan at the hands of family members over perceived damage to “honour” that can involve eloping, fraternising with men or any other infraction against conservative values that govern women’s modesty.

In a majority of cases, the victim is a woman and the killer is a relative who escape punishment by seeking forgiveness for the crime from family members.
