Zahida Parveen
Zahida Parveen is a primary schoolteacher whose case became central to a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, which emphasized that a woman's legal rights and autonomy should not be contingent upon her marital status. Parveen challenged the withdrawal of her appointment under the deceased's son/daughter quota, which was unjustly rescinded based on her being married. The court's decision reaffirmed her right to employment and financial independence, highlighting the need for gender-sensitive language in legal contexts.
