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.
how could u guys not find this disguisting???? several things are wrong with this:
1. he is asking for money to wed his sisters… he should have wed his sisters first……
2. he is exploiting these poor girls…..the life of these girls is ruined….
3. and this is Pakistan, not an Arab country………..
BE PAKISTANI and support rational thinking…..
and yes Prophet Muhammad did married a 7 year old Hazrat Ayesha….
This photo is revolting.the girls have degraded themselves to acquiesce to such a demeaning relationship.when the families of these girls agreed to this it just showed the lowly place of women in our society,that girls are regarded as burdens,excess baggage to be gotten rid of,no matter how.Men like him exist in abundance in our culture,that the media eagerly acknowledged his accomplishment of being man enough to land 2 women is another indictment of the sick mentality prevailing in our society.
Why is everyone so convinced that “everyone in this family is happy”. Really? How do you know that. From everything we know and is reported the only person happy is this twisted and demented pervert.
Why is it so disgusting.? the only bad part is if he can not afford two wives, than he should have not married two. Islam allows him to have more than one wife. He possibly has saved two lives from ruining. If everyone in this family is happy than what is your problem. ?????
If this guy is a practicing Muslim then why not
Its allowed to marry 2 so why does Media just shows it if it were the HOTEST NEWS
