Qureshi et al. (2025), 78(1), 6125-6130.pdfThe Evolution of Dowry Practices in Punjabi Culture (Pakistan): A Historical Analysis from Tradition to Modernity
Sawera Qureshi1, Maha Khalid1, Hamza Iftikhar1,*
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
Dowry (Jahez) remains a deeply entrenched social issue in Punjab, Pakistan, despite legal prohibitions under the *Dowry and Bridal Gifts (Restriction) Act, 2016. This study examines the historical evolution of dowry practices, their socio-economic drivers, and the failure of policy implementation. Through case studies and legal analysis, it highlights systemic gaps—corruption, patriarchal norms, and lack of public awareness—that perpetuate dowry-related exploitation. The study argues for a multi-faceted solution, including stricter enforcement via digital registries, community engagement with religious leaders to promote HaqMehr, and fast-track courts for victims. By aligning legal frameworks with cultural and Islamic principles, Punjab can curb this harmful practice and advance gender justice.
Keywords: Dowry Practices; Gender Justice; Patriarchy Pakistan; Legal Reforms; Socio-Cultural Norms; HaqMehr; Islamic Law.

Syeda Ayesha1*, Muhammad Inamullah1, Muhammad Rizwan1
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
This study critically examines the positive and negative impacts of tourism in the Kaghan Valley, Pakistan—an area celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage. It explores how tourism has shaped the local economy, environment, and social fabric, particularly in the context of rapidly increasing visitor numbers. The influx of more than one million tourists annually has significantly boosted the regional economy, generating substantial revenue and creating thousands of direct and indirect jobs in tourism-related sectors. However, alongside these economic benefits, the valley faces severe environmental challenges, including deforestation, waste accumulation, and water pollution, all of which threaten its ecological integrity. Tourism development in Kaghan Valley thus reflects a complex interplay between transformative opportunities and mounting pressures. While economic growth has enhanced livelihoods and revived interest in local traditions, it has also contributed to the commodification of cultural practices. Moreover, infrastructure expansion and intensified visitor activities have placed considerable strain on the natural environment, jeopardizing the very assets that attract tourists. Adopting a qualitative methodology, this research investigates community perspectives on tourism’s evolving role. The findings underscore the necessity of balanced tourism development approaches that respect ecological thresholds while fostering local prosperity. The study further advocates for community-centred planning as a cornerstone of sustainable tourism, ensuring that short-term economic gains are aligned with long-term environmental stewardship and cultural preservation. By addressing these challenges with foresight, Kaghan Valley can sustain its identity as both a thriving community and a cherished tourist destination for generations to come.
Keywords: Sustainable Tourism, Community Development, Cultural Heritage Preservation, Environmental Management, Mountain Tourism Destinations, Tourism Governance; Kaghan Valley.
