Veteran actress Saba Faisal has always been open about her personal life. Recently, she appeared as a guest on ‘Good Morning Pakistan,’ where host Nida Yasir asked, “Does a mother-in-law also need to prepare herself before the wedding takes place?” Discussing her son’s first marriage,
Faisal said, “I was so excited about my elder son’s wedding that I ignored preparing myself for my new role as a mother-in-law. My mistake caused problems with my daughter-in-law, but we worked things out and our family is happy again.”
Reflecting back on her own experience, the Sultanat actress said, “Women should prepare themselves before welcoming a new member from a different background. I learned this with my second daughter-in-law. I had expectations from my elder daughter-in-law, Neha, to manage the household like I did, which was wrong. But eventually, things settled down.”
Among the many people in Pakistan who choose to blame women for rising divorce rates, and not men for being men, is actress Sadia Faisal.
In a recent appearance she went off on a rant, blaming independent women for changing marriage and relationships in the industry.
The daughter of veteran actress Saba Faisal sat down on ‘FHM Podcast’ to slam women for being “impatient and independent” compared to the past, saying that it has led to an increasing divorce rate.
“I think the reason we’re seeing more divorces in the industry is that when women become independent, their tolerance level decreases, and they refuse to compromise. This lack of tolerance is a major reason for the increasing number of divorces we see today. When women earn more, their expectations skyrocket, and their brains are in the sky, making it challenging for marriages to succeed.” Yes, she did not bring in men behaving the way they do in a very patriarchal society. Its all the women’s fault, yo!
But she did not end her tirade against women there. “We are not foreigners, and our traditions are eternal. Marriages are not just between two individuals, but between two families. Any woman who thinks she is only marrying the man is misguided and will face problems in her marriage.”
Yes Saadia, everything that goes wrong is indeed the woman’s fault. No matter that we know if instances where strong successful women in the industry were subjected to domestic violence, no matter that we know of instances where men cheated on their successful spouses, no matter that many older celebs now say that they were in unhappy marriages, their husbands took their money, and they regret staying. A marriage failing must be the woman’s fault, right?
Maybe its time Sadia came out of whatever era she is stuck in and smelled what the new age is cooking.

Sadia Faisal angrily responded, “You are misinterpreting a simple statement. Hira you need to gain more life experience before discussing this matter.”
