LAW, POLICE INVESTIGATION AND PUNISHMENT FOR WOMEN IN JEAN SASSON’S WORKS

The life of women in Middle-East Asia has now been the focus of modern female writers as the theme of their works. Sara Suleri, Tehmina Durrani, Latifa, and American Jean Sasson has boldly, faithfully and realistically presented women behind the veil in the region. Jean Sasson has truly presented the dark life of women of Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Afghanistan where the basic human rights to women are a still a dream. Rather women are treated, molested and given harshest punishment through police investigation and law of the region. The present paper explores the various laws of the region and their application to women victims. The law of Arabian Peninsula is male oriented and anti women as the latter are forbidden to testify in criminal proceeding. It also elaborately expresses the different types of punishments that are in store for them.
