Abstract
Women are constantly being denied their human rights via distinct practices that are found in Pakistani society as honor killing, forced marriage and acid attacks. Perpetrators of acid attacks are still rarely captured and women in poor families are especially more vulnerable. Even more than 90% of the reported cases are not settled and justice is not delivered because of the perpetrators’ wealth. Rich individuals are more easily suitable to shirk the legal system and the police charges. Like other social changes, reforms against acid attacks in Pakistan are still moving too slow for Pakistani women. The lacuna in existing laws and hurdles in making new laws is permitting this stigma of society to grow. Our society is not allowing a woman to enjoy that status which she is given by Islam. The Qualitative research by using secondary data is done by studying Pakistani laws critically. In this article, comprehensive recommendations for making further reliable and effective laws in Pakistan are given. Awareness must be given to public regarding the real status and rights of women in Islam. New laws and better performance is the other tool to manage with this evil side of the society. Keywords: Acid Attacks, revenge, stigma of society, lacuna, comparative analysis, effective laws
