Pakistani woman throws party in US to celebrate her divorce, viral video amasses hate
While divorce is still a taboo subject in many Asian countries and couples going through separations are often judged as well as shamed by society, a Pakistani woman residing in the US recently threw a party to celebrate her divorce.
In a viral video, the woman is seen joyfully dancing to Bollywood songs in a purple lehenga as the audience cheers and hoots.
The decor in the background includes balloons that spell out "Divorce Mubarak" adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
A Facebook page shared the video with the caption: "If all this continues in our country, the idea of marriage will end one day."
While many users recognized the importance of escaping toxic relationships, the celebratory nature of the video has sparked debate, with numerous people in Pakistan criticising the woman with hate messages against her in the comment section.
One user commented, ''Divorce should not be celebrated at all. Yes, it frees you from a toxic relationship. Yes, it liberates you from a narcissist. Yes, it is good for your mental health. Yes, you can heal from the trauma. If we start celebrating the divorce, people will be afraid to get married. Number of proud single mothers is already on the rise. Absent father for children is trauma.''
Another wrote, ''Call me judgmental or whatever but i can't believe my eyes, this woman is dancing and throwing a divorce party saying "DIVORCE MUBARAK???" FR??? Wth is going on this planet.''
