NCSW welcomes Christian family law bill in Sindh
The Church of Pakistan, however, has rejected similar bills in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in their present form, Voicepk reported.
The National Commission on the Status of Women has welcomed a Christian family laws bill introduced in the Sindh Assembly, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan.
APP reported the commission's welcome on Tuesday, but the report available to the desk did not include the full text of the statement or the bill's provisions.
Separately, Voicepk.net reported that the Church of Pakistan has rejected Christian family laws bills in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in their present form. That outlet's headline indicated the church's position, but its full report was not retrievable at the time of filing.
The two positions highlight a dispute over proposed legislation affecting Christian family matters. APP's report mentioned only the Sindh bill, while Voicepk's headline referred to bills in both Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
No further details of the bills, their sponsors, or the stages of the legislation were available in the source material.
