It can safe her even from hassle of postings inside the country, since I suppose their job placement in Pak is only in Islamabad.

Thats totally wrong. After completing ur specialized training (even during which u are sent for 6 weeks to the hague, neitherland for a course) , you are posted as assistant director in the ministry and after 10-12 months of posting you have to go again out for a foreign language course for 10-24 months depending on the language. After you return back and spend some time you are again posted out as a third secretary to a embassy. You can refuse a posting but then there is no use of joining foreign service if u don't want to serve your country abroad but its very rare or almost none that a female has served only in Pakistan.... Its like 6 years out and then 3 years here as a normal cycle but then it differs according to situation and your own competence.

@scorps.definitely, you have to be mentaly tough to stay away from your home for long periods of time. otherwise homesickness would turn you into some lazy gloomy person searching ways to get back home.
