Most women in Pakistan are not seen as independent, which tells the traditional preference for boys over girls. In this society the birth of a son represents potential source of income in future matters, But the birth of a girl doesn’t represents potential source of income because, every baby girl who is born, one day she have to get marry and leave her parents house. But if the woman doesn’t marry, she remains a Burden on the family’s income. Than she have to face the shame in the society of not being married. Mostly woman is not involved in a company of men except for her husband and close relatives. First she doesn’t leave the house but for some reason she have to go some where she always wears burquah, a full length type of cloak which covers the body and face. Even in cities and towns the percentage of girls to boys, minor education is very low. School is not seen necessary for girls. In rural areas only 10% of the females attend school. In this society, woman doesn’t have any kind of upper value. She doesn’t have any kind of freedom. Her family, kids, and her house is everything for her. Woman in the family have to wear burquah, especially if she is married, so the other outside surroundings including men won’t be able to see her. Woman in burquah are more likely to come from the urban, middle-class families because it is seen as a good reflection of the family’s social status if the woman do not need to work. A position of woman is very complex and different from other cultures of the world. Pakistan was on of the first countries to appoint woman ambassador, for instance Pakistan international airline employs more female pilot than any other airlines in the world.
