6. MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY (PHYSICAL AND PERSONALITY).
About personality and appearance, it's hardly impossible to define it, because of the different ethnic distribution of the population.
According to a report by the International Labour Organization, in Pakistan there are about three million of children aged 4 to 15 years who works outside their homes.They work alongside their parents, in the field, in the street, crushing stones, carrying firewood on their backs, in the manufacture of carpets and sports goods...
But this fact does't always come from the poorest sectors of society. In many cases children come from families with middle income. Low wages and high interest rates cause these children have to work in a system of slavery.
The child job in Pakistan is not only an economic issue, is also a cultural problem. The society, Pakistani men, regarded as something normally for children to work. Children's rights in Pakistan is not are not met directly not exist.
Moreover, Women in Pakistan only has a right hand to be born. It is the only decision you can make free own in his life because from that moment his right hand are gone forever. His family, namely her father and brothers are those who take the decisions for her.
During childhood, a few will have the chance to go to school. The reasoning is: if the only reasons for the existence of women in Pakistan are those of housekeeping, marriage and children, makes no sense to spend time studying, it is better to work and assist in the tasks of the house. This is demonstrated in the literacy rate in rural areas only 1 in 10 women can read and write, and in cities 25%.
At puberty, girls are held in homes and remote contact with male persons. This includes family, except father and brothers, and in case of having to leave home, we appeal to burke. The latter is not common in the region of Northern Areas (Ismaili), and in cities like Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, choose to wear or not wearing a head scarf, depending on the degree of relative conservatism.
The family is in charge of arranging the marriage, determines when and with whom they must marry the girl, and if it is with a cousin by the father better. His family must pay the dowry, but given that women will live (and serve) to the family home of her future husband, at least cease to be an economic burden.
Once married, the girl becomes a woman and becomes the property of the husband and wife's mother's orders. According to Pakistani law, adultery by men can only be proved by the presence of several witnesses (men) when the incident although it is quite difficult to prove. In the case of women is different, only enough for three men claim to have seen the woman in a compromising situation so that women can be sentenced.
The abuse and rape within marriage are not considered crimes under Pakistani laws. For a man can be accused of rape require four witnesses (men), and the declaration of women is not taken into account. If the woman becomes pregnant because of rape, most often the case becomes a crime of adultery by the wife in the absence of evidence against the alleged rapist.
Women in Pakistan are sentenced from the moment of birth. Talking about freedom and his rights as human beings not only clashes with the law and religion, but also with the traditions and customs of a society like Pakistan anchored in the Middle Ages.
On this matter the physical characteristics of the Pakistanis, the men usually are, sallow colour, brown eyes, long face and big nose, short dark brown hair, have a beard or moustache, most of them are thin, normally lead head scarves or hats. The new generation of Pakistanis are fleeing the Shalwar Kameez, only uses to go to the mosque or for parties, Pakistanis class working always wear Shalwar Kameez.
Concerning Pakistani women, sallow colour, brown eyes, dark brown hair, can carry-ones, such as bracelets, earrings, necklace ... and carry a shawl called a Dupatta to cover her head. The Pakistani national dress is the Shalwar Kameez, This is the everyday clothing worn by Pakistani men and women. The pants are called Shalwar and the long shirt or tunic Kameez.
