My "Abusive Marriage" and what I'm doing in it



I have seen many women who earn more than their spouses staying in an abusive marriage.
☆I have seen women who are sole earners in a family staying in abusive relationships.

☆I have seen humble gentlemen (yes its true- not all men are evil) who stay in abusive relationships.

#Abuse is evil power personified. Why does a person feel the need to manipulate his/her partner, because they don't feel the burden of accountability on their souls?

We need to teach both; young men and women, that "marriage is a sacred institution". It is the first relation that the Creator made for human beings, it is so sacred that its effects can be felt in the hereafter as well. #Fear of Allah is the only thing that will instill in the spouse the need to respect this sacred bond and nurture it with love. If you don't fear Allah and don't fear the pressures of accountability, the family unit will never prosper no matter how much you earn.
What if your spouse doesn't have the fear of accountability? STEP OUT OF THE RELATIONSHIP. The Almighty has given both men and women the right to step out of a marriage if you feel that the differences are irreconcilable. Use this legal right to end a relationship before it robs you of your humility and dignity.
Let's reform the society by teaching both our men and women the responsibility bestowed on them via this bond and that they must Fear Allah for all the unjust things they do particularly in this relationship called Marriage.
As a society its upon all of us to condemn all forms of abuse by holding the sanctity of marriage. It is also upon us to respect the privacy of a couple and not make #divorce a #taboo
When we don't have happy, loving, and protective homes, we see a disturbed and imbalanced society. We see depressed children and unhappy individuals.
#Fear Allah and not misuse the responsibility given to you by Allah; for if you abuse the power given to you by the Almighty; He will surely hold you accountable for all that you have done.
God-fearing individuals are the ones that make loving homes.

An infidel woman: The scandalous “pink nighty” in ‘Meray paas tum ho’.

Two days back I woke up to see social media upset and demanding PEMRA to ban a play called “M erey paas tum ho ”. The lead actress was trolled for choosing the worst role of her life and much up-roar was made about a “ scandalous pink nighty ” in one of the episodes. Since I had not watched the play I rushed to YouTube to see what the hangaama was about. To my surprise the play had a typical storyline of a middle class government employee Danish (Humanyon Saeed)   with a pretty wife Mehwish (played by Aieza Khan) and a kid, struggling to make ends meet because he is naïve and honest. His wife on the other hand dreams of a better lifestyle with luxuries. A lovable family sets the picture perfect scene of the first episode, till the entry of a rich business man Shahwar played by none other than Adnan Siddiuqi. Shahwar spots Mehwish among common friends and finds her attractive and starts giving her compliments on her beauty, the over possessive husband finds the sitaution

Finally a happy ending for Pyare Afzal

For the past few days the social media is buzzing with the wedding news of Hamza Ali Abbasi of fame Pyare Afzal. Hamza started his career with TV and after doing a few projects moved to the big screen, he is not only famous for the work he did on screen but his claim to fame is from his extremely vocal socio-political and religious views especially on social media, he is seldom politically correct and gets a lot of bashing for his opinions. This week he was again in the news for posts about his wedding announcement to Naimal Khawaar. His long post about “Platonic Relationships” has been the topic  of the grape wine. His definition of Halal relationship was a bit bizarre and was so not needed in the wedding announcement.   Many bashed him for being self righteous or holier than thou. Some called it a publicity stunt, which often the people in the media are accused off.     On August 25 th  2019, the social media was again highlighting his beautiful wedding ceremony; the s

‘The spirit of a WOMAN’

On Sunday, my OCD kicked in and I decided to clean the house. To make cleaning a bit interesting I selected some old classics of Nayyara Noor. I played my favorite song Kabhi Hum bhie khoobsurat theye … … and held on to the magic mop with dear life. Nayyara’s with her soul searching voice sang the beautiful lyrics written by Ahmed Shamim, I could not help ponder upon the simplicity of emotions and the deep sadness  embedded    in the lyrics of this song. I have listen to it a 100 times before, but somehow with age, the meaning of many things have changed so drastically that even I am surprised myself. The song talks about the beauty of emotions more than the physicality of the beauty itself, it emphasizes on the spirit and the joy found in that jubilant spirit. Somehow beauty and age is such an important thing for women, I am not sure if it is a big issue for men also, as their age or beauty is never discussed. But for women it’s a stark reality, we often have t
