Pakistan swears in Ayesha Malik as first woman judge of SC

Pakistan swore in Ayesha Malik as its first female supreme court judge on Monday, a landmark occasion in a nation where activists say the law is often wielded against women. Malik, 55, was administered the oath by Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed at the the top court’s ceremonial hall in the capital Islamabad, where she now sits on the bench alongside 16 male colleagues.
