The First Hindu Woman civil Judge in Muslim Majority Pakistan has recently been making headlines. Suman Kumari, who hails from Qambar-Shahdadkot in Sindh province will serve in her native district.

She passed her LLB examination from Hyderabad and did her Masters in law from Karachi’s Szabist University.

“I have entered the field of Law because I know that in the backward areas of Sindh, poor people need a lot of advice and assistance in legal matters,” she told PTI over telephone.
