Introduction What is a Cousin Marriage? It is generally regarded as the marriage between two close blood relatives. There are various terms being used in this context. These terms are of legal importance and have implications in genetic and Inheritance issues. Cousins may be: First Cousin Second Cousin Parallel cousin (two brothers or two sister’s children) Chacha, Taya, Khala Crossed Cousin (a brother and her sister’s children) Mamoon zad, Phoophi zad Double first cousin—two persons are Double first cousins when both of their parents are first cousins. Consanguinity is the degree of closeness the common ancestor

LAHORE: The trend of marriages between cousins, within a clan or caste should be discouraged as the number of children suffering from a group of genetic diseases, called Lysosomal Storage Disorder (LSD) in medical terminology, is on the rise. Such children do not survive more than five years if not diagnosed and treated as early as possible. Treatment of LSD changes outcome from miserable death to a near normal but it is very expensive.

FOR no other known reason but to avoid being seen as violating the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT), India sent a 10-member delegation to Pakistan from March 20 to 21, for the 113th meeting of the Permanent Indus Waters Commission. India had practically declined these mandatory annual meetings since May 2015. It is a positive development, even if the result was predictably inconclusive.

It is now official. Retired Gen Raheel Sharif will soon be taking over the command of the so-called Islamic army that is still to take shape. The ambiguity surrounding the decision to lend the services of the country’s former army chief to Saudi Arabia has finally been cleared. The  defense  minister has confirmed what has been  rumored  for the past several months.

In August 1977, a small crew from Pakistan Television (PTV), visited a house of a former general of the Pakistan Army. The general had also been the country’s president between March 1969 and December 1971. He had been living in that house since early 1972 and was hardly ever seen in public for over five years. He had been under house arrest. Apart from this, he had also become a virtual recluse.

A number of articles in the past week have created some undue anxiety about the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Let us put it in plain English at the outset: CPEC is not another East India Company. That comparison is specious and entirely unhelpful, even if some find it useful purely as a metaphor.

It is hard to miss them: an excavator digging the road near Thokar Niaz Beg where another new concrete pillar will soon be raised. This structure is being constructed to support the almost 27-kilometres-long elevated track for the country’s first rapid transit train project, the Lahore Orange Line Metro Train. A front-loader waits nearby to be called to scoop up the rubble and load it on to the dumper to make room for the workers to fix a steel mould in the ditch for the concrete pillar.

OVERVIEW There have been many landmark cases through the decades in which court decisions have gone on to change the course of Pakistan’s history. These include the recent Panama Case, The hanging of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in a murder case; Maulvi Tameezuddin case; and the Swiss letter case which led to the removal of  Yousaf Raza Gilani from the office of the prime minister as well as the Asghar Khan case in which the Supreme Court found that intelligence agencies were involved in election rigging in 1990s.

First information is construed as the earliest communication or intimation of crime to the state agency, to set it in motion to under take investigation. Such information irrespective of its brevity or length has to convey the relevant information pertaining to the nature and place of occurrence including description of victim of violence. The object of section 154 of Cr.P.C. is two fold; from the point of view of information its objection is to set the criminal law in motion, from point of view of investigation it’s to collect evidence for tracing and bringing the culprits to justice.

WHILE disposing of a civil petition recently, the Supreme Court opted for a diagnostic approach and incorporated 15 points for the improvement of the criminal justice system. One, taking cognisance of the inconvenience often confronted by complainants regarding non-registration of FIRs, the court explicitly pronounced that under Section 154 of the CrPC, the police have no discretion to decline registration. Two, to discourage false complaints where applicable, cases under Sections 182 and 211 are to be registered. Three, many individuals are nominated as the accused in the FIR registered for a single case, particularly in the rural areas. Such tactics are employed to book as many male members from the accused side as possible. To discourage such practices the court observed that “no person should be arrested unless there is sufficient evidence available with the police to support such arrest”.
