easypaisa audio nikahnama petition
The Issue
Millions of women in Pakistan get married each year without fully understanding the terms of their marriage contract, exposing them to financial liability. According to the Pakistan Commission on the Status of Women, two-thirds of Pakistani women do not comprehend the contents of their marriage contracts, and over half cannot even read them. This is especially concerning because the nikahnama, the marriage contract in Pakistan, is often concealed or altered before seeking consent.
To address this problem, easypaisa has launched the country's first accessible audio nikahnama. This audio guide is available to any Pakistani woman, regardless of literacy level, on any type of mobile phone. The audio tool is accessible in seven languages, and it can be used on all networks and in all regions of the country.
Although the audio nikahnama is a game-changer, helping millions of Pakistani women understand their marriage contracts and take control of their financial future. But there is still a lot to achieve. On this Women's Day, it's time to take action. We are launching a petition to demand that before consent is demanded, it must be mandatory to ask if the bride has read and understood her nikahnama. This is a crucial step towards ensuring the protection and empowerment of women.
Join our cause and make your voice heard! Sign our petition today to demand that the Government of Pakistan makes this question mandatory. Let's make a real difference!
Thank you so much for your support.
