Now connect this with the following:

* Individual and Society.
--> Does conventional morality restrict individual freedom?

Then you can talk about Pakistan or take it anywhere from here. I could think of this much right now.
The topic is 'Tyranny of customs' not 'Tyrrany, of customs, over women in Pakistan'.

You can add some custom and society flaws in western countries. That includes Marriages between same genders, Deteriorated Moral values, Over-feminism etc.

Moreover, confrontations due to sectarinism in Pakistan can also be added.
