and thepoor daughter remains unmarried and sometimes commits suicide by taking
poison or burning.All these evils can be eliminated with the help of strong will,
determination, courage, effective law and order, sincerity and education. The people can
be taught religious morality. Many social evils can be eliminated with the help religious
scholars by presenting true spirit of Islam. The masses can be made aware socially and
politically through media. The judicial and police system can be reformed to ensure
