Today i went to issue a new pakistani visa to Ministry of Interior.
My husband have french and pakistani passports, i have russian.
They refused to accept my documents. They did not give any respectful explanation, apart of a phrase that i have to come with my husband(who is abroad for work) to make my visa.
They treated me as a part of the furniture in the room, speaking prefferably with my driver and ignoring my questions and my presence as it is. It was humiliating.
After 2.5 hours of expectation in the dirty room without AC (around+43C), lots of people.... i went out with nothing. When my husband will come back, they will demand to pay a fine for overstay(ammount in Dollars...).
Upset and confused. So i have a question. Is there a law which tells that the woman in Pakistan doesn't have a right to present her own documents, for her own visa without attendance of her husband?
What are the rights of woman in this country?
And why a lot of pakistani man considering woman as a pale shadow of her husband, who never speak and not suppose to show signs of life on the public?
