On Mar 12, 2008, Bangladesh has apparently retreated from a policy advocating equal property rights for women amid protests from Muslim clerics, who claimed that the move would override Islamic law. The law adviser's comments came in the wake of threats by Muslim groups to launch a nationwide protest against any move by the government to enact laws ensuring equal rights of women on family property, saying it would contradict the Koranic laws. If Muslims have real genuine concern for women and humanity then they should try to join the rest of the world with one-law, uniform civil code and gender equality like in developed countries and allow for the same in the Indian subcontinent as well. Honor killings go on a regular basis. Women are just objects. We evolve in equality and clarity or perish into darkness, manipulation and hypocrisy, the choice is always ours to make.
