The parents of the man often demand an excessive amount of money and wealth from the bride’s parents. This has caused the ratio of married women in Pakistan to fall because many parents cannot afford millions to give their daughters a dowry.

The Ministry of religious affairs made this decision to prevent the groom’s side from asking for expensive gifts, furniture, cars, and sometimes property. The bill also restricted the parents from giving their daughter gifts worth more than 10,000 pkr.

Additionally, the bill will regulate the marriage functions and events. Part of this regulation is a statement that the food menu of the functions will be limited.

Any violation of this new law may result in a Rs. 200,000 fine, imprisonment or a combination of both. So, the fulfillment of this law is necessary from now on.

The goal of this bill is to regulate the extravagance of the wedding functions. The dowry ban in Pakistan should help put to focus back on the marriage and the couple.

In many other countries like America and Europe, people do fancy wedding functions that, in the end, are just a waste of money. Money that the couple could instead use for their future.

Pakistan is the first Muslim country undertaking a dowry ban in a legal action.

The credit goes to Pakistani women who fought for their rights, and made this an example for all the women of the world. This, perhaps, is one of the best examples of women empowerment in the world.

Soon after being declared as a “Corona-free country,” New Zealand began reporting one case of the virus after another.

In the UK, Health experts have warned their government that a second wave appears imminent. With this in mind, many other countries are preparing themselves to battle another wave of COVID-19.

Experts cite the lack of implementation of safety protocols, lifting lock-down restrictions too far, and irresponsible behavior of individuals as leading to this situation.

“The evidence is the vast majority of people are still susceptible. In essence, if we lift all measures, we’re back to where we were in February,” said Dr. Mike Tildesley of the University of Warwick. Dr. Tildesley specializes in mathematical modelling of the spread of infectious diseases.

Pakistan is also one of the countries that are continuously reporting new corona cases across the globe. At the time of writing, more than 9 people died due to corona-virus in the previous 24 hours, pushing a total death toll to 6,162.

Beijing also reported a new outbreak of corona cases after thinking the pandemic was near an end in the area. In the middle-east, Iran is one of the most recent countries to announce expectations of a second wave of Corona-virus.

Corona-virus is often compared with the Spanish flu from history. That flu also had a resurgence, and the second wave of it was even more terrifying. Remembering that history, health experts are concerned about the impact of the next wave.

As governments prepare to battle the ‘second wave’ of COVID-19, the focus is complex. It is centered around controlling the spread, while minimizing disruption of daily activities.
