Recently, Salma Zafar Asim appeared on FUCHSIA Magazine’s YouTube show, hosted by Rabia Mughni. During the interview, she discussed her marriage, her husband’s second marriage, and other personal experiences in detail.
Talking about her marriage, Salma Zafar Asim said, “I was married before I turned 18 and got my ID card after marriage. I got married at an early age because, at that time, it was considered a big achievement. One thing that made me sad was leaving sports, as I was a brilliant player in college. Early marriage happened because during that time, marriage was considered to be the most important thing for girls. It was the biggest concern for parents to settle their children in time and of course they want the best for their kids with pure intentions. In my case, my Khala found a match for me, however, I told her not to worry about her decision. Also, my husband is a good person, and my in-laws are kind. I have learned many things from my mother-in-law”. Here is the link to the video:
Talking about issues in her marriage, Salma Zafar Asim said, “I know that, there were multiple mental health issues about which I couldn’t do anything. It was his mother’s problems. I was focused on my kids, we tried to figure things out. I decided to keep myself positive for my kids because of my own peace and happiness. Divorce and second marriage is not always the solution of the problems in a marriage”. Here is the link to the video:
Talking about her husband’s second marriage, she said, “I got to know about the stories of my husband from everyone. He was quite a popular person among friends and acquaintances. I discussed it with my father-in-law. I simply said to him that he should get married instead of having friendships. I also made my kids understand. I told them that at least their father would be with us; what if he dies and we wouldn’t be able to see him? My son agreed, but he told me not to cry. I have four kids: two daughters, one son, and another son from my husband’s second marriage. I treated my stepson as my own. He loves me and his siblings. He is here at my house and is having a great time with us”
Talking about what should not be accepted in marriage, Salma said, “There comes a time in marriage when women feel frustrated; they get suffocated. They become clueless about the restrictions. Men don’t even realize that they do injustice to their wives by imposing restrictions. Women should leave a relationship with abuse and leave the marriage because abuse should not be accepted. Sometimes you don’t speak up for yourself when you face abuse, but when the same starts happening to your daughter, it hurts you. However, it was your mistake—you didn’t speak up when you first faced abuse” Here is the link to the video:
