“Agar aap kehte hain ke woh aurat aapki izzat hai, toh uski izzat toh karo,” (If you say that woman is your honour, then at least respect her) Ahsan said.
He went to hghlight the hypocrisy of presenting women as a source of family pride in public while subjecting them to violence and bad behaviour within the household.
According to Ahsan, simply calling a woman “izzat” is not enough if her dignity is not respected in everyday life.
He Underlines that society needs to think on how women are treated at home, notably when they are described as mothers, sisters, daughters and wives who represent a family’s honour.
