The Pakistan women barred from voting by their husbands | AFP
In the village of Dhurnal in Pakistan’s Punjab region, Naeem Kausir confesses timidly that she would prefer to vote in Pakistan's upcoming election -- if only her husband would give her permission. Like all the women in her town, the 60-year-old former headmistress and her seven daughters -- six already university educated -- are forbidden from voting by their male elders. Although voting is a constitutional right for all adults in Pakistan, some rural areas in the socially conservative country are still ruled by a patriarchal system of male village elders who wield significant influence in their communities.
