Faryal recently shared her experiences on the FHM podcast, shedding light on the topic of divorce and its lingering taboo in our society. Her candid thoughts reflect the challenges individuals face when navigating the complexities of marriage and the subsequent societal perceptions that often accompany divorce.
Faryal addressed the prevailing issue of women in our society being stigmatized as divorcees and highlighted the harsh reality that some women face, with even their parents expressing the extreme sentiment that they would rather see their daughter die than return home divorced.
She emphasized that parents holding such views are fundamentally mistaken, stressing that they bear the responsibility for the well-being of the children they brought into this world. Faryal underscored the importance of understanding and support during challenging times.
Furthermore, she asserted that divorce should not be perceived as the end of the world; instead, it can mark the start of a new chapter and a fresh beginning for the individual.
