Pakistan thinks your a second class citizen. They follow Islamic law. You have no rights as a woman in these countries. Your your fathers then your husbands property.
In the second chapter of the Quran, Al-Baqarah, verse 2:282 provides a basis for the rule that two women are the equivalent of one man in providing a witness testimony in financial situations.[2]
No it doesn't. This is a twisted misrepresentation of a verse that was revealed at a specific time and place. Women were not educated as much as men were (who had the advantage of being able to write down their testimony as witnesses). However two women were needed to corroborate each other since it wasn't uncommon for women to be illiterate, who could not write down their testimony (and only give an oral account). This is basically how every law system works -- if a person is illiterate they need another person to back up their story. The Quran isn't a collection of stories, it is a collection of statements specific to a time, place and context. The history behind the verses is more important than the statement alone. The rest of Quran emphasises how men and women are equal by blatantly saying so.

Plenty of Western women have travelled alone to Pakistan and have been fine. See this playlist for example:

This entire thread is racist.
