Abstract

Husbands should be involved in family planning practices because, in many societies, men have a superior role in the decision-making process. This involvement will lessen the hurdles to birth control and planned parenthood. In some cultures, husbands have the authority to decide on family planning. Therefore, for successful contraception, they should be engaged in birth control practices. Some people believe that men should not be involved in family planning. However, they think that only women should be educated regarding modern and advanced contraceptive methods. Opponents argue that instead of involving men in family planning practices, it would be better to focus solely on women and teach them about options such as intrauterine device placement, contraceptive pills, and injections. This paper argues that an uncontrolled population is a great burden for developing countries such as Pakistan. Therefore, to solve this issue, males should be engaged in birth control practices equally with females.
