Srinagar: Suman Kumari has become Pakistan’s first Hindu woman to have been appointed a civil judge after passing an examination for induction of judicial officers.
Kumari, who hails from Qambar-Shahdadkot, will serve in her native district, Dawn reported.
Suman Kumari passed her LL.B. examination from Hyderabad and did her masters in law from Karachi’s Szabist University. She then worked for Advocate Rasheed A. Razvi’s firm.
Suman Kumari fears that her community would not appreciate her decision to become a lawyer, but “I am confident my family will stand by me come what may”.
