Some Pakistani television channels seem to find this picture ‘cute’ and a great ‘human interest story.’ I happen to think it is disgusting! What do you think?
Please, please, please tell me you also find this more than just objectionable and restore by faith in Pakistani sanity!
The guy in the picture is 23-year old Azhar Haidri of Multan. On his right is Humaira Qasim (his 28-year old cousin that he has long been engaged to marry) and on his left is Rumana Aslam (his 21-year old other cousin who he says is his ‘true love’). He married both of them within 24-hours on October 19 and 20 in what was supposed to be his ‘dillema’ of who he should marry!
The whole thing has been a TV spectacle this last week. But what is really a spectacle to me is TV news anchors and hosts smiling and smirking as they “report” on this story – complete with “news footage” of the two weddings and interviews with the groom – as if this was one big joke!
As far as I am concerned, ruining two lives in this way is no joke. It is disgusting. And the smirks on these news anchors’ faces makes it even more disgusting.
And just when you thought it could not be any more disgusting than it is, there was the groom on my screen today being interviewed and saying that since he is the only brother of 9 sisters, he would appeal to people to please support him financially so that he can marry off his sisters now!
Yes, that is what he said. You know what else he said, he also said that since he comes from a place near the Prime Minister’s city he hopes that the Prime Minister will provide him with resources and support for his “honeymoon.”
And all of this is a “cute” “human interest story” to our news media!
I understand that every society has its share of freaks and publicity hungry psychopaths. But the real freaks here are the TV news anchors who are not only encouraging this psychopath but actually condoning and tactically supporting his behavior.
@PurePakistani
I don’t understand why Ahamadis are labeled as “Ghustak-e-Rashool” while people like PurePakistani including so-called Alim-e-Din publicly commit “gustakian”.
We don’t get tired repeating ourselves that Muhammad SA came to this world to remove ignorance when Arabs would bury their daughters alive. How could that greatest person in the history of mankind marry a 7 year old?
Thura sa apna bhi damag istamal ker laina chahiyay aisi baat ko suntay aur boltay hoya.
As far as this incident is concerned – its not disgusting, its just abnormal according to our society.
Prophet Muhammad married Hazrat Ayesha when she was 7 year old…….what do u think of that??????if u dont believe me research and you will find the truth…..Paki first muslim later…
No, it is NOT normal at all in any religion…. all religions have things that cannot be defended, some do it with monkeys, others marry young slaves to have a child when in their 90s…. but those are myths and stories…. maybe this is “normal” wherever you come from, but I do not know of a single case where this has happened, so this cannot be normal…. wife brides happen in the US today, and prime ministers drink their urine in India, but that does NOT make these things normal… that only makes them disgusting. As is this act and your comment too!
In a religion where the Prophet married a 7 year old girl. its pretty normal…..marrying 2 girls or marrying an underage girl is immoral……Allah sure as hell doesnt allow this….
Some comments from the ATP Facebook Page:
– “More proof on how mullahs are helping the cause of regression with Pakistan.”
– “This has nothing to do with Muslims… this guy is a freak … ad anyone who expands on this one freak to be the model for all Muslims would be a freak too…just like one Christian serial killer does not make all Christians serial killers, nor does this mean anything except that THIS GUY is indeed disgusting. I guess it proves that disgusting behavior can be found everywhere and in all religions and communities”
– “wat is ur problem??”
– “kismat ya shamat bichary ki………………..ha”
– “A lot more disgusting behavior is often found in Pakistan yet Pakistanis continue to believe that it is a country of good moral standing…please lol
There is a reason why Pakistanis are widely despised in the West.”
– “And is it the same reasons that the “West” is widely despised in Pakistan, and elsewhere?”
– “there is no problem with this guy…if wife gives permission to marry then wat is the problem???wat is disgusting???u ppl are disgusting”
– “Piyar mohabat kee lazawal kahani :D”
– “Realy disgusting if the pic is real.”
– “This is Pakistan .., anything can happen, anytime anywhere..,”
– “well well guys hold on…wats so freaking abt it??
this is his own personal lyf and even the girls r happy with it …so why creating such a big issue out of it ..these media ppl have got nufin to do but to create a drama abt every single thing that happens even if a bird dies they make a whole story out of it lol…
as wee saw a few days ago abt the SANIA-SHOAIB issue..
so the whole point is to live ur lives and leave others with their own personal issues…y wastin ur tym giving these stupids things so much importance???”
– “I recently saw this program called ‘Sister Wives’ about polygamy in US, I thought that was disgusting, but man this is quite close! As for Mr. Saad, just because 2 people agree on something does not mean it is not disgusting. Wonder what men will feel like if they had to go share their wives with other men like these stupid women r sharing their husband willing”
