The Existing Social and Matrimonial Problems of Women in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) (A Statistical Overview under Islamic Context)

Abstract

It is a plain fact that in the evolution of human society and the development of social life from day one, both men and women played an equal role. When man and woman are gathered in the form of marriage, then they form the human society, a single man would certainly not be able to play any role in the creation of civilization. A woman is a being whose acts and sacrifices can never make humanity worse. Without a woman (Hawa), for Adam, heaven was desolation as well. Man and woman are an important part of human life. Human evolution would be delayed if this were not the case. Almighty Allah (SWT), the Creator of the universe, made man and woman from the same source. This research work aimed to explore the existing social and matrimonial problems of women in KPK along with a statistical overview under the Islamic Context. The method of questionnaire was used to collect the data for this purpose, and each sample had ten questions. Two hundred women were taken from KPK, and selected respondents completed the questionnaires. The information obtained in the form of opinions was evaluated by excel and the result was shown in different statistical diagrams. The study revealed that most women in KPK suffer from social and marital problems and the main reason for this is the forgetfulness of Islamic teachings as we are moving with the passing moments towards destruction. There is also a desperate need to obey the teachings of Islam so that the worsening condition can be resolved. Due to its research, this research work can be an insightful instrument for researchers and readers in its specific field.
