Female cannot be given in Sulah


According to cultural practices in many villages of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and in some other commonwealth countries that women are given in compromise to murder cases. This is in just and against the fundamental rights of those women that are married forcefully like that.

It is also unislamic to marry a girl against her wishes. For the same reasons there is a punishment devised in the penal laws of many common law countries against this evil practice. In Pakistan this punishment is covered under section 310A of Pakistan Penal Code. The content of that section is reproduced below:-





310A.Punishment for giving a female in marriage or otherwise in badal-i-sulh:
Whoever gives a female in marriage or otherwise in badal-i-sulh shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment which may extend to ten years but shall not be less than three years.
