Gambling in Pakistan is strictly prohibited under Islamic law, which forms the basis of the country\“s legal system. The Pakistan Penal Code explicitly bans all forms of gambling activities, with severe penalties for violations.
Despite legal restrictions, some underground gambling activities still exist in certain urban areas. However, these are considered socially unacceptable and against cultural norms.
Traditional Pakistani culture emphasizes hard work, honesty, and family values. The concept of earning money through chance or luck contradicts these fundamental principles.
Instead of gambling, Pakistanis engage in various cultural activities such as traditional sports, music festivals, and family gatherings that promote social bonding and entertainment without violating religious or legal boundaries. |
