Final Year Project
Project Title
The Unconstitutional Legal Injustices under Zia’s Regime: The Zina Ordinance in the Light of Critical Hermeneutics of the Quran
Description
My thesis seeks to examine the gender-based implications of the Zina Ordinance, particularly sexism and misogyny. I study the political implications of the Zina Ordinance in terms of its constitutionality through a multi-method approach, which includes accounting for case law analysis, a critical review of the Islamic text, media coverage of public opinions, and public sector mobilization.
