The study investigated the association between intimate partner rejection and marital satisfaction in a sample of 250 married women (M = 32.38, SD = 3.73; age range: 25-45). This research made use of the Intimate Adult Relationship Questionnaire (IARQ), the Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI), and the Fear of Intimacy Scale (FIS). A correlation between couple rejection, fear of intimacy, and marital satisfaction was hypothesized. Findings suggested a significant positive association between partner rejection and fear of intimacy and a significant negative correlation between partner rejection and marital satisfaction. The mediating effect of fear in intimate relationships, or the correlation between partner rejection and marital pleasure, has been shown via structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings emphasized the link between marital satisfaction, intimacy, and the partner’s rejection. The research points to the need for counsellors to address intimacy fears and strengthen relationships via the use of individualized strategies and focused communication treatments.

The British Government's Disregard Towards Women in Democratisation Process from 1832 to 1918
This work is concerned with the British Government’s disregard towards women in the democratisation process in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries purposely showing the negative impact of the traditional view of women by men in the current political sphere. From the historical perspective, the results have proved that the British Government has developed some unfair behaviour vis-à-vis women, which excluded them from political life for several years. Moreover, after a long struggle between the people and the Government, Parliament voted for the First Reform Act in 1832. This Act gave the right to vote to some men from the Middle Class, but no particular attention was paid to women's cause. Warned of this disqualification, women decided to rise up and claim their rights, but this would not be a simple affair. In the long run of time, men alike women, made up their minds to vigorously attack the Government.

ID Card Please! No Sir: Dissecting Power of LEAs in Document Checks
Citizens across the globe, especially in Pakistan mostly are asked a frequent yet debatable query and demand for identity cards and other documents on a daily basis by the Police. Be it the scheduled checkpoints or informal exchanges, the police officers habitually ask the citizens to show their identification documents. Though such actions are meant to guarantee security and uphold law and order, their legitimacy and legal sanctity have ignited much debate and raised significant concerns about individual rights and distresses like privacy invasion. The "equilibrium between the right to privacy and the concerns like security" is the epicentre of our analysis. From one perspective, promising security, peace and tranquillity and enforcing laws are the duties invested in the executive, however, the matter of Privacy invasion is yet another factor to be appraised by the LEAs.
