The bill
goes ahead to recommend that women should be banned from military combat,
welcoming foreign delegations and appearing in advertisements, and must have
spousal permission to give monetary support to somebody.
Female
nurses should be banned from taking care of male patients and there should be
no-co-education after primary school, it suggests.
The bill
advises that a woman must not interact with strangers and that abortion after
120 days should be declared murder.
However, it
says that a woman can participate in politics without the permission of her
parents and that anyone who tries to force women to marry should be jailed for
ten years.
The bill
didn't receive the council's unanimous approval, three of its members rejected
some of the proposals in the bill during heated discussion led by Chairman
Muhammad Khan Sheerani while the only female member of the council, Dr Sameeha
Raheel Qazi, was not present on Wednesday when it was being discussed.
