But a new tenant arrives. A lady associated with the business of selling flesh for monetary returns rents, an apartment and starts her business. She also calls some of her associates to her place to complete the product portfolio and branding activities are in full swing to attract the prospective costumers. Customers from the dark part of society with their ugly friends and rabid guards frequent the place. The harmony of the neighborhood is destroyed. What to do now?

Some elders go to the police station to lodge a complain against the new enterprise and the lady CEO but they are turned back as the new amendment in the hudood laws restrict police from getting involved. Congratulations, Pakistan is now the only country where prostitution is protected by the law.

Now the mohalla wala’s have to go to session court where the authority has a right to listen to your plea or turn down the request to have the enterprise close its operations. Further more the lady CEO upon knowing the evil plot of Mohalla wala’s can get back to them by lodging a complain with the police against any one of the resident whereby the accused will be picked up without bail and locked up till court decides the poor man’s fate.

Women who is caught stealing bread to feed her young will still suffer at the hands of faulty justice system, women will still be burned by inlaws and the cruel inlaws will find legal loop holes, un Islamic honor killings are still rampant but the law will protect only one woman, our lady CEO in the above story.

Welcome to the new enlightened world of mutated laws.
