Pakistani opposition lawmakers walked out of federal parliament in protest at government proposed amendments to Islamic rape laws.
Rights groups have been demanding the government repeal the current laws which place an almost impossible burden of proof on women and expose victims to charges of adultery.
...
"This bill is against Holy Koran and Shariah, we reject it and (will) try to block it in any possible manner," said opposition leader Maulana Fazalur Rehman.
Just wonder why Maulana Fazalur Rehman would say that making it easier for women to file cases of rape would be against Islam. :confused:
