Question No. 02: In 1956, the very first constitution of Pakistan was passed in which one of the clauses clearly affirmed that no law repugnant to the islamic injunctions would be enacted and that all the existing laws, if and when found in contradiction to the islamic injunctions, would be amended accordingly. Therefore, when the Muslim Family Law Ordinance 1961 was passed, it drew much criticism from various factions all over the country. These factions were of the view that MFLO 1961 is not a comprehensive set of code to follow marriage (polygamy), divorce and dowry matters but just a compilation of few amendments in English law that usually required solutions from various sources of jurisprudence in settling the disputes. Please elaborate on the criticism mentioned above. Question No. 03: Surrogacy refers to a contract in which a women carries pregnancy 'for' another couple. Although this arrangement appears to be beneficial for all parties concerned, there are certain delicate issues which need to be addressed through carefully framed laws in order to protect the rights of the surrogate mother and the intended parents. Discuss the statement while at the same time highlighting the ethical as well as legal factors concerns involved.
