Hermaphrodite in Pakistan are unable to lead a normal life, most of them are close to men but
they still prefer to be identified as females instead of men due to their, inclination towards women and
that’s the reason they want to lead a life of women. Sociologists define hermaphrodite as man minus
maleness, male plus women or male with dominant features of women or women with dominant male
orientation in her sex.
The meaning of the term hermaphrodite has varied and their issues are still a topic of sometimes
heated discussion. Although doctors and activists debate exactly what conditions qualify as to be called
hermaphrodite and over here I am using the word in its wide sense includes those sexually abnormal
individuals whose gonads or external or internal sexual anatomy does not fix in male or female norm.
Islam treats the hermaphrodites as equal members of society, and considers them as a Sign from
Creator. The people who are born hermaphrodites are not to be blamed or shunned by society, as it is
Allah who has created them the way they are, as a test for the rest of mankind. Islam demands that we
be extra polite and tolerant to these physically and mentally challenged slaves of Allah, for
hermaphrodites there are separate laws in Islam. In Pakistan unfortunately they do not enjoy equal
rights and are shunned to periphery of society due to biased and prejudiced attitude of people towards
them.
