The Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) is the penal code for all offences charged in Pakistan. It was originally prepared in 1860 on behalf of the Government of India as the Indian Penal Code. After Pakistan's independence in 1947, it inherited the same code. The PPC is now a mixture of Islamic and English law as it has undergone several amendments. Sharia is Islam's legal system derived from the Quran and teachings of Prophet Muhammad. It can inform every aspect of daily life for Muslims and provides guidance in areas like family law, finance, and business. Section 509 of the PPC defines and prohibits sexual harassment in workplaces, private spaces, and public spaces.
