A twitter user shared a screenshot of a problematic matrimonial advertisement. Among other requirements, it was listed that the girl “must not be TikToker” and “must not be feminist”.
Other requirements included that the girl should “love and respect parents, “should be mature and graduate”, and “maximum age should be 21”.
See how Twitter reacted to the ad:
The National Centre for Domestic Violence (NCDV) UK, which provides a free, fast emergency injunction service to survivors of domestic abuse, reported that incidents of domestic violence in England increase during major sporting events.
“Not everyone is looking froward to the match tonight, Instances of domestic abuse increase 26% when England play and 38% if they lose,” the tweet said.
A study in 2014 by academics at Lancaster University looked at the number of reports of abuse to a police force in the north-west of England during three football World Cups. They found that such reports increased by 26 per cent when the national team won or drew, and by 38 per cent when the team lost (other studies suggest abuse is worse when England wins). A new study, published on July 4, goes much further. Ria Ivandic, Tom Kirchmaier and Neus Torres-Blas of the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) have analysed 523,546 domestic-abuse incidents reported to the Greater Manchester Police between 2012 and 2019, alongside detailed information on 780 games played by Manchester City and Manchester United in that period. They have been able to disentangle why intimate partner violence increases after games and to create a timeline of when women are most at risk.
Research from the London School of Economics’ Centre for Economic Performance indicated a match increased the risk of family violence.
The study suggested that although domestic abuse declined during the two-hour period when a game is played, it started to increase afterwards and peaked between 10 and 12 hours later.
Meanwhile, a study released in Australia also found out the link between the major sporting events and domestic violence. The study revealed that domestic violence increased 40.7 per cent in New South Wales on State of Origin game days.
On July 11, England and and Italy faced each other in Euro Cup Final 2020, which was considered as one of the biggest games in the world of sports. Italy defeated England to become champions of Europe again, for the first time since 1968, breaking English hearts in the process at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Pakistan People’s Party Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari will not visit Washington during his seven-day trip to the United States (US), clarified a top party leader on Monday. According to Geo News, Bilawal arrived in New York today after he departed for the US on Sunday. The news of his visit gave rise to the allegations from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) that the PPP leader was seeking a “backdoor deal” from Washington.
However, the PPP said that “puppet rulers” are afraid of Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s upcoming visit to the US and as a result, were spreading unnecessary rumours.
After landing in New York, the PPP chairperson refused to speak to the media, saying he is on a “personal visit” to the US.
“When I come here next, in September, I will then speak to the press,” he said.
“Bilawal Bhutto will not go to Washington during his visit,” clarified PPP-USA President Khalid Awan.
Earlier this month, Special Assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan, Dr Shahbaz Gill, said that Bilawal Bhutto will be taking his curriculum vitae (CV) to Washington.
“He [Bilawal Bhutto] will say we are ready to do anything to come into power,” said Gill at a press conference in Karachi. “We will not allow such a deal and will not let Bilawal go the United States with any petitions.”
Fashion model Nayab Nadeem was strangled to death in Lahore’s DHA area by an unknown person. The complaint was registered by Nayab’s step brother.
SHO Nayyar Nisar stated to Dawn that, police officers have suspected that the model was strangulated, but added that the post-mortem report will reveal the facts about her death.
Muhammad Ali, her stepbrother lodged the complaint and stated that on July 9’s midnight, he found his stepsister dead on the floor, that too unclothed. He added, “There were scars on my sister’s neck.
He added that her bathroom’s window was broken. He suspects that his sister has been murdered and demands for justice.
The model lived alone in the house and she wasn’t married.
The spokesperson for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Afghanistan Suhail Shaheen, while talking on Geo News’ programme ‘Jirga’ said that Pakistan “cannot dictate to us or impose its views on us”.
Shaheen gave these remarks to senior journalist Saleem Safi. He further added that Pakistan is welcome to help the Taliban arrive at a settlement in Afghanistan.
In the context of reports that the Afghan Taliban are not willing to listen to Pakistan, the spokesperson said: “We want brotherly relations. They are neighbours, a Muslim country, and we have shared values — historical, religious and cultural.”
“They can help us in the peace process but can’t dictate to us or impose their views. And this is against international principles,” he added.
Speaking of the Taliban’s demand for an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Shaheen said that having an emirate is “a legitimate right of the people of Afghanistan”.
“We say nothing about other governments. They should not impose their view,” he said, reiterating, “This is not in accordance with international principles either.”
On whether the Taliban accept the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) or consider them opponents after the TTP emir swore loyalty to Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Haibatullah Akhunzada, Shaheen said: “I do not know of the TTP emir swearing allegiance [to our leader] but I will tell you the policy of the Islamic Emirate.”
“We will not allow the use of Afghan soil, neither by an individual nor by any group. I have said this in many interviews and I think our position is clear and known to all.”
Mashal Khan recently reacted to the news of two dogs being sentenced to death in Karachi on her Instagram handle. Actor and writer Yasir Hussain was quick to endorse Mashal’s stance by resharing her post with the caption, “@mashalkh bilkul sahi kaha apne”. This re-shared post was further encouraged by the Khaani actor, Feroze Khan.
Ahista Ahista actor Adnan Siddiqui on Sunday also spoke against the decision to euthanise two German Shepherds in an Instagram post.
“I am deliberately not sharing the picture of the dogs who are to be euthanised to not hurt the sentiments of the family and animal lovers.” His statement read: “A very inhuman thing to euthanize dogs for mauling. The damage of the attack is three pronged; on the gentleman who was injured, the family that lost their pets and the dogs that were put to sleep.”
The two German Shepherds that attacked a lawyer in Karachi last month will be “euthanized”, according to a compromise agreement between the dogs’ owner and the victim.
Activists have termed the agreement between Humayun Khan and Advocate Mirza Akhtar Ali as preposterous.
Italy is champions of Europe again, for the first time since 1968, breaking English hearts in the process at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
The 120 minutes had been nerve-shredding with England enjoying early elation when Luke Shaw scored his first-ever international goal, a magnificent half-volley with the game’s first move. And then came what felt like the slow and inexorable trudge towards defeat.
Gareth Southgate’s team had been comfortable in the first half but the final slid away from them thereafter; Italy turning up the temperature, pinning England back.
Italy got the equaliser that they deserved through Leonardo Bonucci and, during extra time, the specter of penalties hung heavy. When they came, England lost their nerve – missing three of their kicks.
It was a night when sporting immortality had beckoned for England, a first trophy since the World Cup of 1966. In the end, it would be a depressingly familiar hard-luck story.
For Italy, it was a second European Championship and glory for Roberto Mancini, whose work since taking over as the manager from Gian Piero Ventura after the failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup has been a little short of sensational.
Italy had the know-how; they have almost forgotten what defeat is. They are unbeaten in 34 matches, a run that spans nearly three years.

British Billionaire, Richard Branson, flew into space on Sunday on his Virgin Galactic rocket plane and safely returned in the vehicle’s first fully-crewed test flight to space.
After the historic moment, he released a video of him and the crew during the flight on Twitter.
“I was once a child with a dream looking up to the stars. Now I’m an adult in a spaceship looking down to our beautiful Earth,” said Branson.

According to reports, the space plane took off from Spaceport America, a huge base built in the Jornada del Muerto desert. It reached a peak altitude of around 53 miles beyond the boundary of space and carried two pilots and four passengers, including Branson.
Shortly after the flight, the 70-year-old billionaire hugged his loved ones. He added, “Welcome to the dawn of a new space age.”
The mission’s success has made Branson the first tycoon — beating Bezos — to cross the final frontier in a ship built by his own company. However, the richest person in the world is due to fly on July 20 and he himself congratulated his friendly rival on Instagram.

Branson founded Virgin Galactic in 2004, but his dream almost came to an end in 2014 when an accident caused the death of a pilot, considerably delaying the program. The company has planned two further flights, and then the start of regular commercial operations from early 2022.
Novak Djokovic has beaten Matteo Berrettini in the Wimbledon final to win a record-equalling 20th Grand Slam title.
Djokovic bounced back from a first-set wobble to win 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.
It was Djokovic’s sixth Wimbledon title and 20th at a major tournament, putting him tied for first on the all-time list with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
The top-ranked Serb broke for a 4-3 lead in the fourth set when Berrettini double-faulted and earned another break in the final game.
Djokovic had led 5-2 in the first set. Berrettini was playing in his first Grand Slam final.
In the post-match ceremony, when asked about his 20th Grand Slam, he said: “I will not stop winning the Grand Slams and I hope they (Federer and Nadal) won’t stop either.
“They are legends of our sport,” he said. “They are the two most important players that I ever faced in my career. They are the reason I am where I am today. They have helped me realise what I need to do to get stronger, physically, mentally and tactically.”
