I disagree that it is cultural if you are discounting the influence of the religion of a religious state on it. I'm not really talking about India, we're talking specifically about a country that calls itself an Islamic state.

Ireland for example has been a catholic country and a non catholic would have struggled to achieve very much that wasn't in keeping with the faith, like having an abortion for instance. Or even speaking out against the faith, wasn't there some controversy over Stephen Fry recently?
