Lawyer and MNA Sher Afzal Marwat, the popular PTI leader, has been praised for standing up against family pressure. He refused to marry again just to have a son. Many people on social media praised Marwat for his decision, including actor Sonya Hussyn.
“In our tough world, I really admire this man,” wrote the Saraab actor in an Instagram post. “He knows how important it is to be kind and to follow the basic rules of relationships.”
Thinking about what Marwat said, Hussyn felt sad about how society always wants a son. “Getting married just to have a son is really unfair,” she said. But she praised Marwat for being loyal to his wife. She said his strong commitment and family values would protect his daughters from future problems. “By making this choice, he not only did right by his wife but also kept his daughters safe from a lifetime of sadness,” she wrote. “I’m sure his daughters will make him very proud one day.” Hussyn finished her post by saying, “Respect, sir.”
Earlier this week, Marwat had told Nadir Hussain’s podcast that his family wanted him to marry again to have a son. However, Marwat said he couldn’t do that to his wife. “I couldn’t bring another woman into our lives just to have a child,” he had stated in the podcast. “Like everyone else, a woman has just one life. She has basically burned everything in her life just to start a new life with you.”
