Hon'ble Chief Justice of Pakistan

"Denying females their inheritance also undermines their economic independence, prevents a rise in their standard of living and concentrates wealth in male descendants, which offends another three Principles."

"Economic deprivation of women prevents their full participation 'in all spheres of life' which is another Principle which is violated.”

Hon'ble Mr. Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah

"Right to dignity is the crown of fundamental rights under our Constitution and stands at the top, drawing its strength from all the fundamental rights under our Constitution and yet standing alone and tall, making human worth and humanness of a person a far more fundamental a right than the others, a right that is absolutely non-negotiable.”
(Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah in Atif Zareef v. The State, PLD 2021 SC 550)

"I believe a judge is a trendsetter and can make a difference. At the Supreme Court now, we want to work on gender issues nationwide. We have the platform; we want to do more".
(Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah)

Hon'ble Mrs. Justice Ayesha A. Malik

“While the idea of promoting diversity within the justice sector is certainly important, the question arises as to whether appointing women – who make up nearly half of the country’s total population – should be considered an act of promoting diversity, or simply a means of ensuring fair representation.”
(Justice Ayesha A. Malik)

“In cases of harassment, the victim’s perspective is relevant as against the notion of acceptable behavior. The standard of a reasonable woman should be considered to determine whether there was harassment, which rendered the workplace hostile and all relevant factors should be viewed objectively and subjectively.”
(Justice Ayesha A. Malik in Nadia Vs Syed Nayab Hussain Gardazi)

Hon'ble Mr. Justice Omar Sial

"It is hoped and expected that we as a society refrain from stereotyping and gender bias. It must not be lost sight that Pakistan is a signatory to the Convention Against Elimination of Discrimination against Women, and the State has accepted certain responsibilities under the Convention."
(Justice Omar Sial)

"Considering the abhorring practice prevalent in society where womenfolk are deprived from their share in the name of traditions and customs, the plea of relinquishment of share by female members of the family is often result of subjugation and suppression."
(Justice Muhammad Aamir Nawaz Rana in Shahbaz Khan vs Muhammad Anwar & others 19.09.2022)

Mr. Justice Dr. Khurshid Iqbal

“A family Court is required to adopt a behavioral approach in the context of legal anthropology while resolving a family dispute with regard to psychological, social, and contextual explanations of human behaviour in matrimonial relationship.”
