  • Mariyam Nafees would rather get a divorce than allow husband to marry twice

    Mariyam Nafees would rather get a divorce than allow husband to marry twice

    Mariyam Nafees didn’t hold back the punches when she talked about men who have multiple wives.

    The actress fearlessly expressed her opinions on various matters during an interview, be it politics, social issues, or her industry.

    Appearing as a guest on Ahmed Ali Butt’s show ‘Mind Na Karna’, Mariyam was asked about having more than one spouse, as cricketer Shoaib Malik’s marriage came up in the discussion.

    She said, “I respect that Islam allows men to have up to four marriages, but our religion also says men can’t treat their wives equally. I think very few women can accept their husbands marrying again.”
    She said that if her husband wants to marry again, she won’t object, but will instead ask for a divorce. “If someone isn’t happy in their marriage, they should end it and marry again, whether it’s the second or third time. But I want to emphasize that it’s tough for men to treat multiple wives equally, as our religion states.”

    Saeeda Imtiaz is not happy about men in Pakistan getting married multiple times.

    The actress wrote about marriage on her Instagram account, saying, “After seeing the situation in Pakistan, I don’t think I would like to marry a Pakistani boy.”

  • Three brothers divorce wives for not taking care of their sick mother

    In Algeria, three brothers simultaneously divorced their wives ‘within a minute’ after they reportedly failed to take care of the brothers’ sick mother.

    According to local media reports, when the three brothers return back to home from work, they saw that their neighbour was giving a shower to their sick mother. All of them were furious that their neighbour was taking care of their elderly mother instead of their wives. It provoked them to give a divorce to all three of them at the same time.

    The brothers asked their wives to take care of their sick mother but they refused to do so.

    We are most affected by the ‘wife’ clause, says PPP’s Naveed Qamar

    The Parliamentary Committee on Legislative Business witnessed objections over a clause of the Electoral Reforms Bill, which calls for disclosing the number of wives with parliamentarians saying they will take it up in the relevant Senate Committee for necessary amendments, reports The Express Tribune.

    Federal Minister for Planning and Development Asad Umar, who was part of the parliamentary meeting, questioned: “We are asked how many wives you have. What is this? What have wives got to do with this?”

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Ayaz Sadiq, and Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Naveed Qamar, too, raised questions over the Electoral Reforms Bill.

    Naveed Qamar said that the PPP was the most affected by the wives’ clause.

    A committee had been set up by Deputy Speaker National Assembly Qasim Suri to approve the bills. A no-confidence motion against the deputy speaker was moved by the Opposition after which Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser formed a committee to review the bills.

    Ayaz Sadiq said that if the House is to be run, the bills should be brought to the committee. “We should create terms of reference, important legislation should be made in this committee. If the minister or member has introduced the bill, he can withdraw it in the House.”

    Abbasi said, “Twenty-one days have passed and according to the law, we cannot change it.”
