You could make a few jokes here and there, we had to be respectful but now it has gone crazy. Banning for silly little things people say to each other all the time and it's part of the normal conversation. And it's not even disrespectful.

Divorce Stigma in Pakistani Society – Even Men Face It

18 Upvotes

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,

I’ve been searching for a rishta for about 1.5 years now, and it’s been tougher than I expected. I’m a decent guy – stable job, good family, practicing Muslim – but the moment people hear I was married before, they back off. It doesn’t seem to matter that there’s a genuine reason behind it; the stigma in our society just takes over.

Back in May 2023, I had a short marriage that lasted only a few months. It ended because the girl and her family didn’t disclose some serious health issues she had. These weren’t minor problems – they were conditions that made a future together impossible, especially since they chose to hide them instead of being honest. In Islam, trust and transparency are so important, and when that wasn’t there, I couldn’t continue.

Now, whenever I share this with a potential match or their family, it’s like an instant dealbreaker. I get that divorce carries a stigma, especially in Pakistani culture, and I’ve seen how hard it is for women. But I didn’t realize men would face it too – even with a valid reason. It’s frustrating because I’m upfront about it, yet people judge without understanding.

Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you navigate the rishta process when society’s so quick to label you? I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences – whether it’s advice from an Islamic perspective, cultural insights, or just how you’ve handled the arranged marriage scene. Feels like I’m stuck, and I could use some wisdom!

JazakAllah Khair.

Edit (1): You're missing the point guys — it was undisclosed. I'm not someone who would walk away just because of a health condition. But hiding something that important is dishonest, and that kind of deception is completely unethical, don't you think?

Besides, I found out about it just two days before we were supposed to leave for Umrah — barely a week after the wedding. My family wanted to send her back, but I stood by her side and didn’t let that happen, even though I was only 25 at the time. I don’t let pressure dictate my decisions. After we returned, I made sure she got the best medical care in Lahore — both through doctors and rohani ilaj. There were other factors involved as well, but I choose not to go into them as that would border on gheebah, which I want to avoid.

"Unfair College Policy: No Roll Number Slip Without a Fine?"

Upvotes

I study at a branch of one of the biggest colleges in Punjab, Pakistan, & I am currently in 11th grade.

Our college has a very absurd policy that if a student fails the phase test or pre-board exams, they are 'fined 1k per subject'.

The roll number slip is only issued once the fine is paid; otherwise, it is not given.

So, my question is: If someone fails & can't afford to pay the fine, what should they do?

Is there any other way to get the roll number slip?

(Many students are fined at least 3-4k.)

How do I start selling my paintings?

2 Upvotes

Okay, so it's for the artists and people who buy art.

Someone asked me the other day if my paintings are for sale, and I’ve never sold anything before. I usually just post them on Instagram for fun, but now I’m thinking of actually selling them.

The thing is, I have no idea how to go about it. How do you decide on pricing? (I need details. Everyone says you gotta choose, but how do I know it's worth it? For me, it's precious, of course.) Also, varnish, framing, delivery, and other stuff.

If anyone has tips or has been in the same situation, please share! Would really appreciate the help. ✨

مل کے بچھڑے ہو تم ہر خوشی چھن گئی

آ رزوں کا سارا جہاں لٹ گیا

میں نے تیرے اشارے کا رکھا بھرم

تو نے چاہا جہاں میں وہاں لٹ گیا

Mil ke bichray ho tum har khushi chin gai

Aarzoon ka sara jahan lut gaya

Meinay teray Isharay ka rakha bharam

Tu ne chaha jahan mien wahan lut gaya..

Hi guys. Fellow teenager here. I have noticed that the IndianTeenager subreddit has such an active community of teens, and quite frankly im jealous. About 300k. Like they are united.

Just a request, if any pakteenagers are lingering around here, give r/TeenPakistani a chance

How would you react after finding out that your spouse used to self-harm?

I know islam encourages transparency in marriage but being a Pakistani AND a woman, it's almost impossible to discuss these things before marriage without being shamed. Do deep keloid scars and history of depression make women unattractive.

What would be your course of action?
