Actually, I know quite a bit about privacy law (the type of stuff they taught us at Law School).
For news photographs, you do NOT need permission. Do you think they take permission from the cricket match crowd when taking their photograph or showing them on TV.
If there was something compromising in the picture then there might be a courtesy argument, but there is no such thing in that. A woman is looking at a card in a shop, what is wrong with that. The picture becomes interesting only because of the angle (via another card), but otherwise is totally innocent, except in teh dirty minds of some men maybe!
As a woman, I see no problem with this. Nor why my brother or father would be concerned.
If you are indeed her brother or father maybe you should apologize to her for the implication of your sexist comment.
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP.
While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
