News from all quarters was bad news during the holy month of RamadanThe Dua Zehra case engaged the nation where men and women alike prayed for the recovery of this daughter of the nation, who was suspected to have become the latest victim of sexual violence.

Education is a basic right granted to Dua Zehra by the constitution of Pakistan. The entire discourse on the Dua Zehra case is instead focused on how dare a teenager rebel against parental authority?
