Since ages, some bitter taboos and the fear of ‘Log Kya Kahainge‘ has taken a little bit too many lives of innocent girls. The sad part is that even in this modern era and an advanced society we still do have people practicing such taboos. They prefer seeing a dead daughter but a divorced one. Recently, the gruesome murder of Pakistani-American photographer Sania Khan has left many devastated and heartbroken.
Since Khan has been quite vocal about her deteriorating relationship and has been constantly posting about her ongoing divorce and the emotional struggle of failure, and the lack of emotional support from her family.
“Going through a divorce as a South Asian Woman feels like you failed at life sometimes. The way the community labels you, the lack of emotional support you receive, and the pressure to stay with someone because ‘what will people say’ is isolating. It makes it harder for women to leave a marriage that they shouldn’t have been in, to begin with”
The American-Asian photographer further wrote
“It’s painful to walk away from someone you once loved. But it’s even more painful to love someone careless with your heart.”
The 29-year-old was sadly gunned down by her ex-husband Raheel Ahmed in Chicago. Later, he shot himself dead as the officials reached the crime scene.
Sania was quite famous due to her impeccable photography and blogging. As soon as her death news went viral many celebrities’ mourned her tragic death writhing in pain and shock
Ayesha Omar turned to her gram to write
“A divorced daughter is better than a dead daughter. Right? Or isn’t she? Unaccepting parents of girls who are wanting a divorce or taken one: Ask yourself that question.”
Sameena Peerzada too showed her distress by writing
“Save your daughters. Let them come home and live.”

Actress Durfishan reshared Perrzada’s post writing
“Normalise getting out of an abusive relationship. Be it physical or mental.”
It is heartbreaking to see another girl, such well learned girl losing her life as a victim of these futile and cruel taboos’. Sania Khan surely deserved to live and have a definite choice to get rid of a toxic relationship that compromised her mental and physical health.
But people would yet again say “Log Kya Kahainge?” And the chain continues.
