  • Victimisation of Married Pakistani Women from Three Types of Aggression Perpetrated by Their Mother-In-Law, and Mental Health Concomitants
    Technium BioChemMed Vol. 2, Issue 2 pp.77-85 (2021) ISSN: 2734-7990 www.techniumscience.com Victimisation of Married Pakistani Women from Three Types of Aggression Perpetrated by their Mother-in-Law, and Mental Health Concomitants Taalia Khan, Karin Österman, Kaj Björkqvist Åbo Akademi University, Finland [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The aim of the study was to investigate victimisation of married women from aggression perpetrated by the mothers-in-law, and its psychological concomitants. A questionnaire was completed by 569 married women in Pakistan. The mean age was 31.4 years (SD 9.1). Mothers-in-law perpetrated more verbal and indirect aggression than physical aggression against their daughters-in-law. Anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive symptoms, and somatisation were all associated with aggression perpetrated by the mothers-in- law. The mothers-in-law had significantly more often than the husbands perpetrated indirect aggression against the daughters-in-law, while the husbands had perpetrated both physical and verbal aggression against their wife significantly more often than the mothers-in-laws. It was concluded that aggression perpetrated by mothers-in-law is a significant problem and associated with mental health problems in married Pakistani women.

  • Emergent Cinema of Pakistan
    Bāzyāft-30 (Jan-Jun 2017) Urdu Department, Punjab University, Lahore 13 Emergent Cinema of Pakistan Ahmad Bilal ABSTRACT: Pakistan and India shared a common history, language and cultural values, so the form of the film is also similar. The biggest challenge for Pakistan film industry (Lollywood), since partition in 1947, was to achieve a form that can formulate its unique identity. Indian films had been facing an official ban from 1960s to 2007, which initially had helped the local film industry, as, in 1970s and 80s, it was producing more than 100 films per year. However, the ban had diminished the competition and become the biggest reason of the decline of Pakistani film.
