As most of the ppl who failed in the essay paper wrote an essay on status of women in Islam; i also wrote an essay on the same topic and i discussed the following aspects.

1. Introduction.

2. Status of women before the advent of Islam.

3. Status of Women in pre-historic times (women in Ancient Egypt,
Roman empire, Greece,Women in Hinduism).

4. Advent of Islam and women rights.

5. Women rights in Islam:
a. In social sphere,
b. Economic sphere,
c. Political sphere,
d. religious sphere
e. spiritual sphere

6. Duties of women in Islam.

7. State of women rights in Pakistan.

I hope now the candidates would have a much clear picture before them what they had to write on this topic. Most candidates missed few of these points.
