  • ‘My heart is broken’: Twitter reacts to news of South Asian woman murdered by ex-husband

    Sania Khan, a South-Asian woman from Chicago who used to document events reflecting her abusive marriage and talked about her experience of divorce, was murdered by her ex-husband.

    Her ex-husband, Raheel Ahmed, killed her and then committed suicide by shooting himself.

    The family of the man had reported him missing from the Atlanta suburb.

    According to two of Sania’s friends, the divorce was finalised in May. The police found a suicide note near Ahmed’s body.

    Who was Sania Khan?

    Sania Khan was a wedding photographer by profession. She also used to post her work on TikTok videos. “Ever since I can remember, photography has been a huge part of my identity. My life truly began the day I purchased my first DSLR. I wouldn’t know it at the time but it would forever change me,” she wrote on her website.

    However, her most recent uploads from June mainly concentrated on the situation with her divorce. She posted videos that talked about an abusive relationship with her ex-husband.

    The text of one of the videos Sania posted read, “Going through a divorce as a South Asian woman feels like you have failed at life sometimes.”

    People on Twitter are reacting to the news of Sania’s murder:

    Maggi case: Man divorces woman for serving him noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner

    A unique divorce case has made news in the Indian media, in which a husband divorced his wife for cooking noodles every day. The principal district and sessions court judge in Mysuru, ML Raghunath, shared the details of the case while recalling his time as district judge at Ballari.

    He termed the case as “Maggi case”.

    An Indian judge of the chief district and session court while quoting the husband said, “It was noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He complained that his wife went to the provision store and brought only instant noodles.”

    “Divorce cases are increasing drastically over the years. Couples have to stay together for at least a year before seeking divorce,” he added. According to him, if there was no such rule, the divorce petitions would be filed directly from wedding halls.

  • Court allows divorce on grounds of mental cruelty to husband

    Court allows divorce on grounds of mental cruelty to husband

    An Indian state Chhattisgarh High Court bench granted a decree of divorce on grounds of mental cruelty to the husband.

    The court declared that if a wife insists that her husband to get separated from his parents and threatens to implicate him in a false dowry demand case, it would be counted as mental cruelty.

    Justices Goutam Bhaduri and NK Chandravanshi heard a petition filed by a husband challenging the order passed by a Family Court in 2017 by which his plea seeking divorce on the ground of cruelty was rejected.

    The judges noted that the marriage of the couple hardly worked for two months. The wife often left her matrimonial house as she wanted to live alone with her husband who made several attempts to reconcile but in vain.

    “In such a lower middle-class family, it is the responsibility of the eldest son to take care of his elderly parents, as he has deposed also in his statement. In such a situation, if the wife persistently creates constraints upon the husband to get separated from his family and to live with her at her parental house and also threatened him that, otherwise she will implicate him in the dowry case, it, itself amounts to mental cruelty on the husband,” the high court remarked.

    The Family Court was unjustified in making such an observation, the court said.

    On the morning show hosted by Nida Yasir, actor and singer Hadiqa Kiani opened up on topics ranging from her professional life to her personal life. The Raqeeb Se diva also opened up about her failed marriage with Syed Fareed Sarwary, a UK-based Afghan businessman.

    “He fell in love with me,” she added. “One of our mutual friends helped him in sending a marriage proposal to my house. My family accepted the proposal since they were already looking for a proposal for me.”

    “The major obstacle in my marriage was his mother,” the singer continued. “She had a problem with my music. We lived together for five and a half years and after that, we parted ways.”

    “The biggest mistake I made was that when I was engaged to him I was not happy and satisfied with it, but during this time period he attempted suicide by eating pills, which changed my mind about it,” Kiani recalled.

    The Dobara star then revealed that she later married an Afghani man who lived in United Kingdom to give her child a surname and to complete his paperwork.

    The Zindagi Gulzar Hai singer stated: “Only Allah knows the hardships a single mother faces in our country. Today I have been sent so many clips from my conversation with Sameena Peerzada regarding only the surface of those hard realities but today our country has taken one step forward. I am so grateful to the courageous men and women who fought to make this change. Let’s continue on the right path, let’s make a stronger and safer Pakistan.”  

    Hadiqa adopted her son Naad-E-Ali in 2005 from Edhi Foundation, and has raised her child as a single mother.

    Man divorces bride for dancing to ‘provocative’ song at their wedding

    An Iraqi man divorced his bride during their wedding ceremony for playing a ‘provocative’ Syrian song (Mesaytara – which translates to ‘I am dominant’ or ‘I will control you’), reports Gulf News.

    It was reported that the bride was dancing to the rhythm of ‘Mesaytara’, which the groom and his family considered a provocation. Later, the groom entered into an argument with his bride and divorced her in the wedding hall.

    This is not the first time this song has caused newlyweds to get divorced. Last year, a Jordanian man broke up with his bride during their wedding celebrations after she played this song.

    The first part of the song goes:

    I am dominant; you will be ruled under my strict instructions;

    ‘I will drive you crazy if you looked at other girls on the street;

    ‘Yes, I’m dominant;

    ‘You’re my piece of sugar;

    ‘As long as you’re with me, you’ll walk under my command.”
