ISLAMABAD: The Council of Islamic Ideology, a constitutional body in Pakistan, on Tuesday accepted a request to discuss the issue of “saving men from domestic abuse”.
In a letter written to CII Chairman Maulana Mohammad Sheerani, CII member Sahibzada Zahid Muhammad Qasmi proposed that a bill be passed for the protection of men’s rights.
He said: “Some women in Pakistan torture men, and force them out of their houses. Islam grants rights to men as well and in this society those rights are being violated.”
Qasmi requested the council to make recommendations for a men s protection bill similar to one for women.
