The Women's Protection Bill (Urdu: تحفظِ نسواں بل) which was passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan on 15 November 2006 is an attempt to amend the heavily criticised 1979 Hudood Ordinance laws which govern the punishment for rape and adultery in Pakistan. Critics of the Hudood Ordinance alleged that it made it exceptionally difficult and dangerous to prove an allegation of rape, and thousands of women had been imprisoned as a result of the bill. The bill returned a number of offences from the Zina Ordinance to the Pakistan Penal Code, where they had been before 1979, and created an entirely new set of procedures governing the prosecution of the offences of adultery and fornication, whipping and amputation were removed as punishments.

| - La loi de protection des femmes (en ourdou : خواتین کے تحفظ کے بل ; en anglais : Women's Protection Bill) est un acte législatif voté par l'Assemblée nationale du Pakistan le 15 novembre 2006. Elle vise à revenir sur certaines dispositions des ordonnances Hudood promulguées en 1979 par le régime militaire de Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, le chef de l'armée, qui entendait islamiser la société pakistanaise. La loi progressiste de 2006 est votée par un autre régime militaire, celui de Pervez Musharraf arrivé au pouvoir en 1999. La loi change surtout les dispositions concernant le viol, supprimant l'exigence selon laquelle la femme doit apporter quatre témoins masculins pour prouver son non-consentement et empêcher qu'elle soit poursuivie pour relation hors mariage ou adultère. Ce dernier n'est d'ailleurs plus soumis à la peine de mort et les juridictions religieuses ne sont plus compétentes. La loi interdit aussi les relations sexuelles avec des filles de moins de seize ans, ainsi que les enlèvements de femmes et mariages forcés. (fr)
- The Women's Protection Bill (Urdu: تحفظِ نسواں بل) which was passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan on 15 November 2006 is an attempt to amend the heavily criticised 1979 Hudood Ordinance laws which govern the punishment for rape and adultery in Pakistan. Critics of the Hudood Ordinance alleged that it made it exceptionally difficult and dangerous to prove an allegation of rape, and thousands of women had been imprisoned as a result of the bill. The bill returned a number of offences from the Zina Ordinance to the Pakistan Penal Code, where they had been before 1979, and created an entirely new set of procedures governing the prosecution of the offences of adultery and fornication, whipping and amputation were removed as punishments. The law meant women would not be jailed if they were unable to prove rape and their complaints of rape would not be seen as confession of adultery. However, some religious parties have called the bill Un-Islamic and by extension unconstitutional, however the Supreme Court of Pakistan has not overturned the Bill on the grounds that it violates the Islamic provisions in Pakistan's constitution, hence stands to the present day. Pakistan's province, Punjab passed another women's bill which instituted further reforms this is pending before the courts on grounds of unconstitutionality. In 2016, Criminal Law (Amendment) (Offense of Rape) Act 2016 was passed by Pakistan's parliament which introduced harsher punishments for perpetrators of rape and honour killing. The new law provided legal aid to victims and DNA testing was made mandatory in rape cases. The law also required Police to record the statement of the female survivor of rape or sexual harassment in the presence of female police officer. The use of technology such as video links will also be permitted under the new law to record the statements of the victim and witnesses so that they won't have to face any humiliation or risk entailed by court appearances. The new law was hailed by Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women. (en)

Destina-se a reconsiderar certas disposições das Ordenanças de Hudood, promulgada em 1979 pelo regime militar de Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, chefe do exército, que pretendia islamizar a sociedade paquistanesa. A lei progressista de 2006 foi aprovada por outro regime militar, o de Pervez Musharraf, que chegou ao poder em 1999. A lei altera principalmente as disposições sobre estupro, eliminando a exigência de que a mulher indique quatro testemunhas do sexo masculino, obrigatoriamente muçulmanas, para provar seu não consentimento e impedir que ela seja processada por relacionamento extraconjugal ou adultério. Por sua vez, o adultério não está mais sujeito à pena de morte e os tribunais religiosos não são mais competentes para julgá-lo. A lei também proíbe relações sexuais com meninas com menos de dezesseis anos, bem como raptos de mulheres e casamentos forçados ou arranjados. (pt)
