Abstract
D.G. Khan is a region of far west of
province of Punjab and as compare to
other provinces of Punjab it is more tribal
in its social set-up. The contiguity of this
region to Baluchistan has had the
influence on the lives of people due to the
nature of tribal culture. The paper tried to
investigate the trends of tribal culture on
the lives of women of this region who had
been subjugated in every aspect of life.
The paper will also try to explore the
social position of women through the lens
of historical record, provided in the
Gazetteers of the 19th and 20th centuries
related to the British Punjab. This period
is interesting in the sense that it will
explore the nature of customary practices
which had determined the status of
women in the tribal society of D.G. Khan
that was patriarch in its nature. Women
were seemingly excluded from all walks
of life and structural coercion made them
voiceless agent/appendage of the
prevailing system.
