In a move that has people asking, “What took so long?” Pakistan’s Senate has finally decided to make necrophilia illegal. Yes, you heard it right—having sex with dead people is now officially against the law in Pakistan, thanks to a new amendment to the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).
For years, Pakistan’s legal system had a bizarre blind spot: necrophilia wasn’t explicitly banned. But that changed when the Senate unanimously passed the “Pakistan Penal Code (Amendment) Bill, 2024,” courtesy of Senator Samina Mumtaz Zehri. This amendment finally puts a stop to the ghastly act of necrophilia, filling a rather unsettling gap in the nation’s laws.

The amendment tweaks Section 377 of the PPC, which used to cover “unnatural offences” with men, women, or animals. Now, it includes deceased bodies, making necrophilia punishable by life in prison. This change comes after a series of shocking incidents that screamed for legal intervention.
In line with Islamic teachings, the bill stresses the sanctity of the dead. It even quotes a hadith: “To break the bone of a deceased person is akin to breaking the bone of a living person,” driving home the point that the dead deserve respect. The bill labels necrophilia as a hudd crime, a serious breach of divine law.
The push for this law comes on the heels of some truly horrifying cases. Just last month, a man in Karachi was nabbed for allegedly desecrating a grave and assaulting a corpse. And let’s not forget the creepy 2011 case where a guy confessed to defiling the bodies of 48 women over eight years at a Karachi cemetery. These gruesome acts practically begged for a legal crackdown, and Pakistan has finally stepped up.

With this amendment, Pakistan is taking a stand against acts that defy basic human decency. The law not only closes a shocking legal loophole but also sends a clear message: the dignity of the deceased is off-limits.
