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 mother’s daughter used to visit her mother twice a week. However, she stopped coming home recently. She had to take care of her husband who was diagnosed with cancer.
The brothers asked their wives to take care of their sick mother but they refused to do so.
On the morning show hosted by Nida Yasir, actor and singer Hadiqa Kiani opened up on topics ranging from her professional life to her personal life. The Raqeeb Se diva also opened up about her failed marriage with Syed Fareed Sarwary, a UK-based Afghan businessman.
During the interview, the host asked Hadiqa Kiani about her former husband, how she met him, and the reason for her divorce. “It was a completely arranged marriage,” the singer responded. “He was a 3D animator and used to make my videos in the 90s.”
“He fell in love with me,” she added. “One of our mutual friends helped him in sending a marriage proposal to my house. My family accepted the proposal since they were already looking for a proposal for me.”
“The major obstacle in my marriage was his mother,” the singer continued. “She had a problem with my music. We lived together for five and a half years and after that, we parted ways.”
“The biggest mistake I made was that when I was engaged to him I was not happy and satisfied with it, but during this time period he attempted suicide by eating pills, which changed my mind about it,” Kiani recalled.
The Dobara star then revealed that she later married an Afghani man who lived in United Kingdom to give her child a surname and to complete his paperwork.
Last year she took to her Instagram handle and posted a long note in which she appreciated the government’s new policy related to allow children of single mothers eligible to acquire CNIC without father’s information.
In a ruling, the Sindh High Court (SHC) has ordered the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) to issue Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) to a woman who didn’t know about her father’s whereabouts.
The Zindagi Gulzar Hai singer stated: “Only Allah knows the hardships a single mother faces in our country. Today I have been sent so many clips from my conversation with Sameena Peerzada regarding only the surface of those hard realities but today our country has taken one step forward. I am so grateful to the courageous men and women who fought to make this change. Let’s continue on the right path, let’s make a stronger and safer Pakistan.”
Hadiqa adopted her son Naad-E-Ali in 2005 from Edhi Foundation, and has raised her child as a single mother.
An Iraqi man divorced his bride during their wedding ceremony for playing a ‘provocative’ Syrian song (Mesaytara – which translates to ‘I am dominant’ or ‘I will control you’), reports Gulf News.
It was reported that the bride was dancing to the rhythm of ‘Mesaytara’, which the groom and his family considered a provocation. Later, the groom entered into an argument with his bride and divorced her in the wedding hall.
This is not the first time this song has caused newlyweds to get divorced. Last year, a Jordanian man broke up with his bride during their wedding celebrations after she played this song.
The first part of the song goes:
I am dominant; you will be ruled under my strict instructions;
‘I will drive you crazy if you looked at other girls on the street;
‘Yes, I’m dominant;
‘You’re my piece of sugar;
‘As long as you’re with me, you’ll walk under my command.”
