Inheritance is the primary mechanism that regulates the intergenerational transference of financial assets and property. Ownership and control of inherited property and assets can lead to economic, social, political and psychological prosperity of women. However, in Punjab’s context the female share of inheritance is often denied and in many cases women surrender by choice. The cases of denial and surrender persist despite 2011’s criminal law amendment that renders denial of female as a criminal offense. The present study is an effort to understand this phenomenon. It analyzes the cultural narratives that legitimize denial and promote surrender as an honorable choice. Simultaneously, the study investigates the institutional and structural barriers that prevent women from making a successful claim. Rawalpindi and Bahawalpur districts were selected as research sites. The study is ontologically grounded in interpretivist paradigm and epistemologically situated in social constructionist philosophy. The three tier sample of the study was selected through purposive sampling technique. Forty female participants, ten revenue officers, and ten legal and women rights experts were recruited for this study. Three types of in-depth interview guides were developed to collect the data. The study results revealed that customs and culture mediate denial and surrender. Even though inheritance is transferred to women more often following the 2011 amendment, still most women cannot access or control their inheritance. Similarly, discrepancies within the LRMIS and NADRA system and tediously slow judicial processes further exacerbate the situation. It is suggested that a deconstruction of cultural narratives, creation of transparency within the digital record systems, and sensitization of police officers, revenue department staff and judges can improve the situation. Similarly, increasing the number of female employees in these departments is equally important. Keywords: Women, Inheritance, Punjab, Institutional mechanism, Perceptions.

دل شاہ جہاں پوری

حضرت دلؔ شاہ جہاں پوری
حضرت دلؔشاہ جہاں پوری بڑے پایہ کے قدیم اساتذۂ شعرو سخن میں سے تھے۔فنی اعتبار سے وہ مسلمہ طورپرجانشینِ امیر مینائی تھے۔نظام حیدرآباد نے بھی ازراہِ قدردانی اُن کو اعتبار الملک کاخطاب دیا تھا۔اُن کی شاعری کااصل میدان تغزل تھا، اگرچہ قدرت ہرصنف پررکھتے تھے۔’’نغمۂ دل‘‘اور’’ترانۂ دل‘‘ کے نام سے اُن کے دومجموعے شائع ہوکر عوام وخواص میں مقبول ہوچکے تھے۔ اُن کے تلامذہ کی تعداد جن میں اب بعض خود استاد ہیں سینکڑوں تک پہنچی ہوگی۔ شعروسخن کے علاوہ موصوف اونچے درجے کے طبیب اوردرس نظامی کے باقاعدہ فارغ التحصیل تھے۔اخلاقی اعتبار سے بھی بڑے بلند مرتبہ بزرگ تھے۔ نہایت بامروت وسیر چشم،متواضع،خوددار اورغیور۔ افسوس ہے پچھلے دنوں نوے برس کی عمر میں وفات پائی۔اب ایسے لوگ کہاں ملیں گے؟ اﷲ تعالیٰ مغفرت و رحمت کے لطف ونوازش سے سرفراز فرمائے۔آمین [مارچ۱۹۶۰ء]

Islamic Economic Concept in Poverty Alleviation

This study aims to describe the concept of Islamic economics in poverty alleviation. This research method is descriptive qualitative research using data sources from literature or library research (library research). The research approach uses a normative approach and a historical approach. The normative approach is used to examine the ideals of the Islamic Economic conception and then analyze how it is applied. Meanwhile, the historical approach is used to study empirical facts about poverty alleviation. The results showed that the stagnant distribution will cause inequality and social inequality. For this reason, the implementation of the zakat obligation is a very urgent need. The priority of poverty alleviation according to the concept of Islamic economics is to overcome the causes of poverty, namely improving the distribution of wealth. Zakat is the main instrument which is a solution to these various problems, especially in dealing with poverty and social inequality. In Islam, the state must create programs and facilities that can overcome the problem of poverty, guarantee a decent life for the poor and provide the economic means needed to become a source of livelihood for the poor. Islamic economics can be explored more deeply for the development of economics and its benefits in alleviating poverty.

Managing Tillage, Organic and Inorganic Nitrogen in Wheat

Crop fertilization and reduced tillage practices simultaneously improve soil properties and crop yield. The objectives of the research were to evaluate urea (FN) and organic N under different tillage system in a 2-year field experiments for soil physiochemical properties, crop yield and N dynamics. The experiments were carried out at Agricultural Research Farm of NWFP Agricultural University Peshawar Pakistan. Tillage system included deep (DT), conventional (CT) and minimum (MT) tillage. The N treatments were 60, 120 kg FN ha -1 , 10, 20 tons farmyard manure (FYM) ha -1 and 10 tons soybean residue (SR) ha -1 . Farmyard manure and SR were applied solely and in combination with half of FN. A control treatment having no FN, FYM or SR was also included. The experimental design was RCB with split plot arrangement having three replications. Tillage were allotted to main plots, whereas N treatment to subplots. Minimum tillage had higher soil moisture, total N, mineral N and organic C as well as lower soil bulk density than DT. Higher straw, grain and total N uptakes as well as N uptake efficiency was observed in MT than DT. Deeply ploughed plots had higher N utilization efficiency, apparent N re-translocation and its efficiency, N harvest index and physiological efficiency of added N compared to MT. Minimum tillage enhanced emergence, booting, anthesis, milking, maturity and plant tallness compared to DT. Minimum ploughed plots had improved yield components, biological and grain yield. Similarly, MT imposed greater partition of dry matter to leaf, stem and maturity at different growth stages than DT. Emergence was higher in DT, whereas tillers m -2 and weeds m -2 in MT. Supplementing 20 tons FYM ha -1 with 60 kg FN ha -1 had increased soil moisture, mineral N and soil organic C but decreased soil bulk density. Soil C/N ratio was higher in plots receiving FYM solely. Urea N had increased soil pH, whereas soil total N was increased with 10 tons SR + 60 kg FN ha -1 . Greater leaf N at boot, anthesis and maturity stages were measured in plots having 20 tons FYM + 30 kg FN ha -1 , 10 tons FYM + 60 kg FN ha -1 and 120 kg FN ha -1 , respectively compared to other treatments. Higher levels of FYM along with FN had increased stem N at earlier growth stage i.e. boot and anthesis compared to lower levels of FYM + 60 kg FN ha -1 . Plots having 20 tons FYM + 60 kg FN ha -1 had greater stem N at boot and anthesis stage, but 10 tons FYM + 60 kg FN ha -1 application had higher stem N at maturity. Higher levels of FYM and FN jointly used had improved spike N at anthesis and maturity stage as well as straw, grain, total N uptakes and protein content compared to other treatments. Control and lower levels of N had greater viinitrogen use, N utilization, apparent N re-translocation efficiencies and N harvest index than fertilized plots. In the same way, greater recovery and agronomic efficiencies of N were observed in 60 kg FN ha -1 plots compared to other fertilized plots. Uptake efficiency of N was higher in plots having 120 kg FN ha -1 , whereas physiological efficiency of N was greater in plots having 10 tons SR + 30 kg FN ha -1 . Fertilization had enhanced emergence and plant height, but control or 60 kg FN ha -1 enhanced vegetative and reproductive cycles. Spike m -2 , grains per spike, thousand grains weight, biological and grain yield was higher in 20 tons FYM + 60 kg FN ha -1 compared to other treatments. Relative yield over control was higher in plots having FYM + FN used jointly. Increasing N had increased harvest index in all tillage practices, being higher in CT and in organic N +FN. Fertilization of 20 tons FYM with 60 kg FN ha -1 had increased average leaf area, leaf area index and specific leaf weight, but control had greater specific leaf weight. Leaf, stem and spike dry weight at boot, anthesis and maturity stages were higher in plots incorporated with 20 tons FYM + 60 kg FN ha -1 . Incorporation of 10 tons FYM ha -1 had increased crop growth rate and net assimilation rate before anthesis. However, post anthesis crop growth rate and net assimilation rate were greater in plots having 20 tons FYM + 60 kg FN ha -1 and 10 tons FYM + 60 kg FN ha -1 , respectively. Incorporation of FYM with N used jointly had greater emergence, tillers and weeds m -2 compared to other treatments. Value cost ratio (VCR) and relative increase in income (RII) were higher for FYM used as solely or combined with FN. Application of 20 tons FYM + 60 kg FN ha -1 had higher gross income ($505.2), net income ($455.0) over control, having VCR (9.1) and RII (75.8%) compared to other treatments. Integrated use of 20 tons FYM ha -1 with either 30 or 60 kg FN ha -1 under MT had improved crop productivity and soil fertility beside the monetary benefits and thus recommended for wheat sowing in agro-climatic condition of Peshawar, Pakistan.
