Woman is the pivotal part of any family around whom whole family system revolves. It is she, who is
responsible for strengthening or weakening the family ties. When it comes to national life, she has the same role to
play as without her participation state cannot progress economically, socially and globally. She is considered to be
weak therefore law affords specific protections and safeguards to her. The Constitution of Pakistan, 1973 recognizes
her equal status to that of man and the family law also provides different protections and safeguards to her. There
have been many pro-women laws in Pakistan, which ensure protections to women. The problem lies with their
implementation, as there are many barriers, intrinsic as well as, extrinsic in this regard. The most important issue is
the knowledge of these women specific laws or provisions in different laws. This article will provide an overview of
these laws, by giving a brief summary of each enactment and then barriers and challenges, alongwith few proposals
for their redressal as a way forward will be provided.
