Women reproductive health problems are found all over the world, particularly in developing countries. Individual is the prisoner of society. Culture determines way of life and interaction process in a group, which is known through cultural norms and values. With the passage of time; the evolutionary process in social system has been bringing about change in values regarding women and their rights. As a result a lot of consideration is seen for the protection of women rights. In this connection woman reproductive health has been considered in a male dominant society as most serious issue. The developing countries have also been considering and paying attention to human reproductive rights within socio economic and cultural frame work. The study focuses on the facilities in Pakistani society. This research study conducted to asses the women reproductive health problem in N.W.F.P. (Pakistan). The overall objectives of the study was to diagnose the effects and changes in behavior pattern of society concerning, demographic, social, cultural, religious and economic aspects of women living in different classes in urban area of, Peshawar and Kohat. The study focuses on social, economic and cultural consideration for the benefit of women''s reproductive health. The study universe consists of urban Peshawar and Kohat, which is the true representative of two geographical regions; separated by a range of mountains of Tribal Belt of Dara Adam Khel of the province of N.W.F.P. A sample of 720 women respondent of three strata, i.e. lower, middle and upper class women with at least one living child or life birth were interviewed and sampling procedure was taken through stratified random sampling- both the quantitative (second resource as well as field survey) and qualitative (focus group''s interviews) studies were conducted with the aim to produce valid results. The uni-variate, bi-variate and multivariate of quantitative and qualitative data provides evidences that the study provide evidences that educated spouse lead a healthy and prosperous life in community, leading towards significant reduction in child and maternal mortality in both districts of study in NWFP. The single most important variable in the discussion will be that education of females has to be made an area of priority by the policy makers, and then the society could get rid of many reproductive health problems.

تحفظ حقوقِ نسواں ایکٹ کا شرعی و قانونی نقطہ نظر سے تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Islam is a complete code of life and provides the rights to every class of the human beings. Women rights is a kind of such basic rights which were not bothered in the world but Islam provided it to this gender in its ancient age. So many enactments have been made in Pakistan at federal and provincial level. “Punjab Protection of Women Against Violence Act 2016” will be main study of this research article in which. This act was passed rapidly without any detailed discussion on it, so is the reason that it bears so may deficiencies in it. Implementation of this act will surely cause to create the internal problems in family life and will destroy the family system of the era. Some provisions of this act are repugnant to Islamic teachings as well as to ethical norms which make the husband helpless, notorious and such sinful and criminal person who has no right of honor and respect in the society and this will become a permanent document of dishonor which will affect his person as well as his whole family. These main points of this Act will be analyzed in sharia perspective in this research paper.

Microbial Dynamics in Salt Affected Soils

Soil salinity is a worldwide problem which not only influences the physical and chemical properties of soil but may also seriously affect the microbiological properties of soil. This project was undertaken to assess the behavior of various microbiological properties of soil in relation to salinity in a series of incubation and pot experiments during 2009-12. Initially the soil microbiological properties of thirty naturally occurring diverse salt affected soils were determined. Based on the results of preliminary experiments, further experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of NaCl and MgCl 2 induced salinity on N dynamics and soil microbial activity in soil. Finally, a pot experiment was conducted to assess the effect of important amendments such as pressmud, gypsum and farmyard manure, which are normally used for the reclamation of salt affected soils, on growth of wheat and maize and on various microbial attributes in a highly saline-sodic soil (EC 20.3 dS m -1 ). In addition, some bacteria and fungi were isolated from a highly saline-sodic soil, and the effects of same organisms were also tested in the above experiment. For experiment 1, soil samples at 0-20 cm were collected from various salt affected soils ranged in salinity from EC < 4.0 to 32 dS m -1 in November 2009. The samples were analyzed for soil microbiological (such as microbial biomass-C, microbial biomass-N, N mineralization, nitrification, rate of soil respiration) and chemical properties (such as pH, EC, soluble Ca+Mg, soluble Na, SAR (sodium adsorption ratio), ESP (exchangeable sodium percentage), carbonates, bicarbonates, chloride). The results showed that almost all microbial indices including microbial biomass-C (MBC), microbial biomass-N (MBN), basal soil respiration, nitrification and net N mineralization were negatively correlated with increasing salinity (r = -0.89, -0.74, - 0.79, -0.64 and -0.57 respectively). The results further showed that the depressive effects of SAR and ESP on various soil microbial indices were much stronger than that of carbonates and bicarbonates. Both NaCl and MgCl 2 induced salinity significantly reduced the rate of CO 2 evolution and N mineralization during all xiiiincubation periods. The depressive effects increased with increase in salts level. The NaCl induced salinity depressed cumulative CO 2 production by about 80% and N mineralization by 50% during 40 days of incubation. Whereas MgCl 2 induced salinity decreased cumulative CO 2 production by 95% and N mineralization by 81% during 30 days of incubation. These results suggested that the impact of MgCl 2 salinity on microbial indices was stronger than that of NaCl. The amendment of saline-sodic soil with pressmud, gypsum and farmyard manure (FYM) significantly improved the rate of CO 2 evolution, N mineralization, microbial biomass-C and microbial biomass-N. The effects were more pronounced with combined application of pressmud with farmyard manure or gypsum. It was also evident that the effect of pressmud + FYM was further improved with microbial inoculation of microbial isolation from highly salt affected soil. Organic matter decomposition generally increases the production of CO 2 and liberation of H + ions. The H + ion enhance the dissolution of CaCO 3 and releases more Ca to replace Na from clay particles and thus helps in the reclamation of saline-sodic soils. Both wheat and maize seeds failed to germinate under the prevailing saline-sodic conditions despite repeated re-seeding and thus no data was generated in this respect. These results suggested that all microbial indices decreased significantly with increasing salinity levels indicating that soil microorganisms were sensitive to different types of salinity. Thus, salinity is a stress factor and can reduce microbial diversity and control microbial abundance, composition and functions. Although, amendments of saline-sodic soil with organic sources (such as FYM, pressmud) substantially improved microbial attributes they did not enable the germination and survival of wheat and maize sown in the soil. Nevertheless the evidence suggests that organic matter may play significant role in the amelioration of saline-sodic or sodic soils.
