I've been there, and women are walking around wearing western clothes, driving cars, voting, and they've had a female prime minister when America hasn't had a female president!!!!

Is the only point of Indians to make hypocritical comments?

The report cited by the one answerer is helpfull, but over 10 years old. I'll concede that much, anything more recent? By the way, the website is based off the same reports, even if published more recently.

Read this report from Human Rights Watch on the police abuse of women there:
http://www.hrw.org/reports/1992/pakistan/
The women and girls of Pakistan suffer many forms of gender violence, such as child marriages, forced marriages and exchange of women in 'watta satta' (where siblings of one family are married off to the siblings of another family). These, among others, are not even recognised as violence by society.
Other forms of gender violence within the family, although seen as criminal, are not treated as such - for example 'honour' killings and stove and acid burnings of women by family members, (in which women are killed or maimed when they are thought to have behaved immorally or when dowries are not paid) and other physical, psychological and sexual abuses.

Having a female primeminister means nothing. That is done as a coverup. To make it seem as if the country respects women.
