#2 I am suspicious of anything that comes out of Pakistan. She both knew the rules, and knew she was being photographed. This leads me to suspect that this might be a trick by Perv to further weaken Islamist support in his parliament.

Remember that not long ago he proposed more equality in the law for women, tremendously popular reforms, that was bitterly opposed by the Islamists. This hurt the Islamists a lot in the polls.

So this event might be to remind the voters, especially women voters, of what will happen if they ever support the Islamists.

It will be interesting to see if he accepts her resignation. If he doesn't, the Islamists will have a hissy fit, which will hurt them further.
