I remember telling my son's teachers all I wanted was for him to be happy and getting confused looks. They wanted to know what academic goals I had for him and were horrified when I said for me it's good enough if he passes his exams.

More than 3 years to the divorce and still legally married. What the Quaid and Allama forgot to mention was that Pakistan was made for Muslim men only.
Cannot believe this.

suggests on GEO that a new field should be added to divorced women’s passports that lists “ex-husband” so that we can prove a woman’s relation to her own children. This is madness.

I love seeing older folks enjoying their lives. People in Pakistan hit age 45 and it's like game over. They stop living, especially women. Here no one cares who is wearing what, who ia drinking, if a man is with a women, they are all just out enjoying a beautiful day on a boat.
