In Pakistan, fishing communities are considerably more liberal than their agrarian counterparts. In earlier times communal property was the norm and personal property was almost unheard of in fishing communities. There was no gender discrimination and women were the virtual heads of the family, responsible for distributing the harvest. Unlike in other rural communities, there was no 'veil system' and women enjoyed a lot of freedom. As men spent more time fishing, women had a greater role in family matters and in dealing with problems of the family.
