The lead section should include only stats and not views of certain people it needs a new rewrite. KarunArjun (talk) 12:01, 4 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
It is also biased, it doesn’t include the severe penalties for rapists or the fact that Pashtunwali decrees rapists are one of only two types of individuals who are not to be given sanctuary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.97.149.57 (talk) 10:25, 16 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Actually I think it is minimizing the role of the Pakistani government of giving immunities to rapists of Christian and Hindu girls. Also, it is not emphasized enough that it is legal in Pakistan for a husband to rape his wife. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.208.170 (talk) 08:16, 29 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
It seems your good faith addition of definition of Two-finger test may not be accurate enough and seems to narrate same illogical public misconception that 'two finger test' can be ok to know if a woman was raped, and you know such notion is not correct and leads to continuation of injustice to women; I hope you can revisit the sentence and present more nuanced information in more accurate way.
