Saba Faisal has a well-settled family, with all her children happily married and raising their own kids. She is quite vocal about family values and often shares advice on obedience and responsibilities for newly married women. One of her recent statements on this topic has sparked debate as well to which she has responded.
Saba Faisal shared a video on her Instagram in which she explained her viral statements that she made in Good Morning Pakistan.
Talking about it, Saba Faisal said, “Today, I want to talk to you about two things: Goonga Behra and a daughter-in-law wearing clothes according to her mother-in-law’s choice. When I said that a newlywed girl should become goonga aur behra (deaf and mute), I actually meant that she should be forgiving. I think forgiveness was the appropriate word, which I used incorrectly. Also, this does not apply only to the daughter-in-law; the same goes for the other party as well. If both parties are forgiving, things become quite manageable.”
Regarding a daughter-in-law wearing clothes of her own choice, “I said that what some mothers-in-law do is give money to the girl so that she can buy clothes herself. However, this is not something I personally agree with, because I would like to go shopping for my daughter-in-law and want her to wear dresses of my choice so that she reflects us. I said this because a girl comes from a completely different background, and her lifestyle and ways of living may be different from yours. Every woman wants to see the reflection of her family in her daughter-in-law. This does not mean that I am saying you should impose everything on your daughter-in-law. I am sorry if any of you felt bad, because you are my family, and I wanted to clarify this with you.” Here is the link to the video:
