Fazl says women protection law contradicts Quran and Sunnah
LAHORE: Chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islami-Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana Fazlur Rehman has stated that though violence against women is not permissible in Islam there are several points in the recently passed domestic violence law which contradict teachings of the Quran and Sunnah.Addressing a session at Mansoora which invited party leaders from all religious parties to discuss a legal framework to amend the Protection of Women against violence bill, Fazl said, “The government is making public only sugar, and hiding the poison in the law.”
On Monday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif invited Fazl to discuss his reservations on the law at his residence in Raiwand.
Speaking to the media after the meeting the JUI-F chief said, “The Prime Minister heard our reservations against the law. He promised to amend the bill so that it does not contradict with the Quran and Sunnah.”
He said that the prime minister had promised to form a committee which would look into the reservations of the religious parties, including the JUI-F.
