Socio-Economics, Religion and Family Planning in a Muslim Society: A Study of Islamabad (Pakistan)
Journal Title: Global Economics Rview - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 0
Abstract
Demographic characteristics of varying societies vary from area to area depending on the ecological patterns of different societies. The commencement, receipt, and popularization of the movement of birth control were not identical all across the world. The idea of birth control reflects one of the most interesting episodes in the history of modern ideas. It is widely known as all the methods used to regulate or prevent the birth of children. It is deliberate prevention or delaying of births by various artificial means. Family Planning or Planned Parenthood is the term generally used to refer more broadly to policies, programs, and services designed to assist people in practicing birth control. The present study claims that all apparently religious doctrines against family planning are actually the expression of their local worldview. Accordingly, the people consider their opposition to the idea of family planning justified in Islam, though in reality, they derive their feelings from their socio-economic considerations.
