| description | Marriage is an essential and universal socially accepted institution that indicates the pattern of
civilised society.It is the bond between two individuals to form a family.It is recommended by
many religions for the sake of eradicating the social evils of society.However, the traditional
marriages which occur on the basis of a violation of individual rights, give air to hostile social
situations.This study aimed to explore the views of Baloch women regarding the consequences of
traditional marriages on their lives.The study was undertaken in 4 villages of Punjpahee subtehsil of Balochistan, Pakistan, focused on 20 women informants.The data were collected through
focused group discussion.The study sensed traditional marriages are due to the deeply rooted
socio-cultural norms, illiteracy, and preference of the male child, therefore these traditions put
women in a disadvantaged position.It is highly recommended that NGOs and GOs play a better
role in the awareness of the parents and implementation of the laws regarding the rights of women so that they can lead better-privileged lives, with the help of religious scholars and media. |
