The bill says the mother will get a six-month leave and the father will be eligible for a leave of one-month on the birth of their first child. On the birth of the second child, the mother will get a four-month leave and the father will get a one-month leave.
The father will also get a one-month leave for their third child’s birth and the mother will get a three-month leave.

“The law will apply to all government and non-government institutions in the federal capital,” said Shazia Marri.
Taking to Twitter, the lawmaker from Sanghar said the bill was moved by Senator Quratulain Marri, her sister, a year ago.
