These are the kind of judges we have in Islamabad High Court. Those who think that Rasheed Qazi was murdered by Musharraf.

Another gem from the same court

Taking up a complete non-issue to score some brownie points. Valentine's Day is lame anyways, best way to limit the "activities" is to make it seem uncool.

Attempting to throw in a curve ball I see ... FYI You can have conversations to get to know each other in presence of a third party. As far as getting to know the character of a girl/ guy, hate to break it to ya buddy ... but even in the dating scene, when you have a couple living together for 2-3 years and then the dude proposes to the girl. Countries where this is the basic concept behind love and relationships ... it still generates high divorce rates e.g. 70 odd percent in the US, which is mostly filed by the females and the usual premise of the reasoning is .. "he changed" "he wasn't who I thought he was" "he/she cheated" .... People can mask their character for years, and when they start to take each other for granted, only then do their true colors show.

In addition, you have to look at it holistically. In tight knit communities, people usually know each other, their characters and the sort of life they live, their reputation as a family etc. In Pakistan, you can ask the old timers here, the process of researching out potential candidates for their daughters and sons. I've personally seen a family request a relative who was a university professor to ask around about a guy who had studied in his university. People usually go to relatives and the people they know, living in communities near to where the guy or gal who proposed lives, to ask around and stuff. Those are I guess the ideal conditions. An other check includes the responsibilities given to men and women respectively. A third check would be the elders who serve as problem solvers if a problem arises in the relationship.

As far as parents/ elders/ mediums having the happiness of the guy and the gal as their primary objective ... Well it's literally their responsibility.You have to remember, in a nikkah, you are asked aloud, if you want to marry that person, and you have to say YES three times. So alot of checks and balances are there. So alot of checks and balances are put in place which protect both the guy and the gal ...

its not a curve ball, a genuine question considering how things work in India... not sure about pakistan but I suspect not much different.
my original(now modified) question was why do we need a research to determine why children are preferring to find partner themselves instead of asking parent's help. Is it not natural anyway? thats the normal thing to do for any teenager and older(adult)... in any society...
the research should be into 'how desi society is capable of managing a grip on younger folks and keeping them infantile by taking all decision on their behalf(while giving some rudimentary sense of free will sometimes) when its unheard of in many other part of the world. Is it deference to old age? lack of economic independence at young age?
You just described how things currently work, and I have nothing against people helping in finding partner(parents, friends whoever).. we are talking about that being the primary driver, marriage/companionship is pretty individual thing I would say.

When you put them in driving seat, izzat, biradri, family relation becomes important.... if there is a cousin of marriageable age, there will be pressure in considering her, and lot of heartburn if you dont.

That stopped all them liberals!!! ... I'm sure of it ... On a serious note ... these types of posts are what I hate most about the conservatives. In the market place of ideas, it is equivalent to the "yahoodi sazish" argument .. If you don't agree with something, state your reasons for the disagreement and state your alternative solution/ ideology which you think is a better option.

They like competition only in the economics.

When it comes to ideas or politics, they hate competition (because they are scared to their bones!).

Valentine's Day date rape shocks India, shames Delhi

India’s scourge of sexual attacks on women continues to shock the nation and shame on the capital New Delhi.
The latest case reported by the Indian media involves the tragic story of a Valentine’s Day date that ended in a rape nightmare for a class 12 student.

According to media reports, the 17-year-old girl was invited to a Valentine’s Day party by a friend she knew.
The victim was to celebrate her 18th birthday today.

The accused, who worked at a shopping mall, has been arrested.
After purporting the brutal act, the accused reportedly left the victim at a hospital.

He continued to brutalize her for hours until her condition began to deteriorate. He then told his friend to take her to hospital and fled.

Well speakers are not an Islamic tradition too, so why not ban it and do the call to prayer according to Islamic tradition by manually?

Fair point, I should have been more specific.

Has anybody read the full text of the IHC Order?

Good move to ban this Western festival, which is affecting the Muslim youth by not understanding it's consequences and impact on their lives.

 

[Musafir117]

The Eid isn't culture or religious festival in Christian countries SO if they ban it what will the reaction of Muslim world?
Other thing is IHC is higher than SC? I mean all provinces have their own High courts did they follow the IHC?
I'm not big fan of Vday for me every day is VDay @Zibago how many chocolates you get
