Lahore High Court reinstates widow's job, ruling dismissal for remarriage violates rights.

The Lahore High Court ruled that a widow's job cannot be terminated due to her remarriage. Zoya Islam, employed at the Pakistan Mint, was dismissed after remarrying in 2021, but the court reinstated her, citing that the right to remarry is protected under Shariah law and the Constitution. This decision sets a significant precedent, affirming that dismissing a widow for remarriage violates her fundamental rights.
