Why this so important that it's at the top.

Scott free

Personal life of actors is always in trouble.

90% women in Pakistan are subject of domestic violence. Even the educated men thinks that it is their birth right to beat his wife or sister. It must stop, how long will you treat half of Pakistani population as second class citizens.

As good person, our personal life must be kept as private as possible without sharing with others.

Stay safe stay happy Nargis

Why could she not have forgiven him immediately and spared us all this trauma drama ? Are we the readers the victims of a media hoax ? What was the settlement ? Was it just money ?

Who cares. Both are two sides of same coin.

Why doesn’t the state take responsibility of its citizens and pursue the abuse case

I wonder somebody would also ever write and highlight about the crimes women to men.

Useless news.

@Adeel According to the National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR) run by our own Pakistani government, 90% of Pakistani females have faced domestic violence during their lifetime. Also our nation annually commits 1000 honor killings targeting females. These are only the reported cases. In addition females are subject to sexual violence both inside and outside their homes daily. So instead of shifting focus from this important topic to "what about", focus on this article. Women commit crimes, yes, but certainly they don't overpower men, savagely beat them, rape them or can deny them divorce forcing them to stay married and abused.

What Nargis claimed in her FIR as reported by Dawn in November 2024: 1) "her husband wanted to accommodate the former wife of a famous TV host in her (Nargis’) house without her consent." 2) "Bashir wanted her to transfer the ownership of her farmhouse to his name." 3) “Majid Bashir repeatedly hit my face with his official gun, leaving bruises, particularly, in and around my eyes,” 4) "her husband also put the barrel of his gun in her mouth in an attempt to injure her jaw." 4) "Bashir wanted to grab a valuable nine-kanal plot, gold ornaments and other properties, belonging to her, at gunpoint." 5) “He [Bashir] had also subjected me to brutal domestic violence thrice in the past, but each time I ignored the act of extreme violence" 6) "her husband (...) dragged her from her hair, humiliated and beat her up black and blue in front of her nephew and employees." 7) "the suspect also planned her murder and warned her that he would put the blame on her enemies." One can only ponder the terms (if any) of such a "settlement" and question the sanity of the elders involved.
