In our existing society marital life is going to be distress and unbalanced, the media has affected our family life, very badly. The question is being raised, that there is no importance of a woman in Islam, whereas a man has fully control over a woman. Further, the bill of protection for a woman is being discussed openly on media, which has created many complications and difficulties. In this regard, the help has been taken from the Islamic teachings (Qur┐n and Ah┐dīth), and as well as, the status of a woman has been analyzed in the light of the other religions and cultures, to clear the serious and significant matters of this draft.

This study attempts to test association between impulse buying and cognitive dissonance. Some of other
results were unveiled. A high level of association was shown in females and impulse buying but not with the
income level. Sales promotion was also highly associated with the impulse buying. Bank card payment
demonstrated a positive behavior though it was not strong enough. Sample of 200 respondents was selected
on convenience basis. A close ended questionnaire was used. Two hundred questionnaires were distributed to
a convenience sample in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. 168 valid questionnaires were received and included for
the analysis. Cronbach's alpha and Factor loading were used to check the reliability and validity of the data
respectively. Linear regression and T-test were applied to determine the relationship among the variables.
Normality was tested through pp plot, mean and standard deviation.
The conclusion and suggestions given in this study will be helpful for the strategy makers and consumers both
to avoid cognitive dissonance. Self-knowledge will be useful for the consumer for better understanding of
market and to make prudent buying decisions in future. This research will be useful for marketers to
understand consumer behavior in order to craft better strategies, which will keep the consumer satisfied,
happy and stick with the organization. The new input of the study might come from the lack of research in the
area of impulse buying, cognitive dissonance and their relationship.
