Maya Ali has opened up about how she copes with the constant pressure to get married.

In a recent appearance on Nida Yasir’s Ramazan talk show Shan-e-Suhoor, the actor candidly shared how her parents often bring up her relationship status, gently nudging her toward marriage.

“In every namaz, my mother prays that I get married,” Ali said with a smile. “But it’s so difficult to explain to our elders that you can’t just get married for the sake of it.”

While assuring everyone that she’s not against the idea of marriage, Ali said she firmly believes it will happen when the time is right. “When the right person comes into your life at the right time, it’ll be effortless.”

Reflecting on what makes a marriage successful, the Diyar-e-Dil star stressed that companionship and mutual respect matter far more than romantic notions of love. “He needs to understand me, my work, and most importantly, he must value the woman in his life — that’s something every girl deserves. If I find someone like that, I’ll have no issues.”

Ali also pointed out that while society pushes women toward marriage, constantly bringing in religion and fate, it fails to take into account that it’s all predestined. “Our society talks a lot about kismet and religion. But no one considers that it’s already written — when and who you marry is written by God. It’ll happen when it’s destined to happen.”

Recalling how the pressure on her to get married intensified when her younger brother tied the knot, Ali shared, “People started asking me why I’m not settling down. But how does that even make sense? It’ll happen when the time is right.”

Concluding on a lighter note, Ali said with a laugh, “The day I find a good man who respects me and my mother — and of course, I’ll respect him too — I’ll do it. The day violins start playing in my heart, I’ll do it.”

Beautiful Maya Ali is 100% right, it’s better to wait for marriage until you find the right person as your life time partner. I wish her good luck.

My best advice to Maya Ali, please never marry with showbiz person instead focus on Doctor/Businessman or Engineer for a better relationship.

Remember, there is an expiry date of every lady, to become a biological mother and generally, after the age of 35, it becomes increasingly difficult to conceive naturally.

Yes dont marry, just to tick of societal or familial boxes. Also be aware that with time options decrease so a wise girl/woman will try to find a suitable partner early as possible. Humans are not made to live alone unmarried. All the best to her.

It is good to marry the right person, but it is important to observe that all humans are not perfect. Every person has some good habits and some bad, and finding the perfect person is nearly impossible. If a man has a good character, has a kind heart and is caring muslim , you should opt for him.

@Usman Yes majority of pakistanis. For instance most parents of daughters marry them off to get rid of the "burdens" and to satisfy societal norms (ticking off the box) irrespective of whether daughters are happy, safe or agreeing or not.

Just an advice, Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow internet service to see who they really are.
