Pakistani actress and TV host Amna Malik has raised concerns about the societal pressures surrounding marriage, especially the unrealistic expectations many have when seeking a partner.
In a recent podcast interview, Malik spoke candidly about the challenges people face when looking for marriage proposals and the role of mothers in shaping these expectations.
Malik pointed out that in many cases, mothers of young men seek a bride who is slim, tall, and fair-skinned, emphasising superficial traits.
“These qualities cannot exist in one person,” she said, questioning if a woman would be rejected if she gained weight after marriage.
