Domestic Violence in Pakistan

The Legal Construction of 'Bad' and 'Mad' Women

Beschreibung

Pakistani women are increasingly pursuing legal action against domestic violence, but their claims are often dismissed through character allegations. This book examines how women's victimhood is constructed and negotiated in the legal system, drawing on feminist theory and extensive case analysis.
