Pakistani Woman’s Dance Video After Divorce Goes Viral: A Message of Empowerment

A Pakistani woman’s video celebrating her divorce has taken social media by storm. In the viral video, the woman is seen dancing energetically to Coke Studio’s song *”Maghron La”* with immense enthusiasm. The woman, named Azima Ihsan, posted the video on her Instagram, sharing her experience as a mother of three and offering a powerful message about divorce.
In her post, Azima wrote that in Pakistani society, divorce is often seen as a fate worse than death, especially for women. She revealed that people had told her that her life would be over, she would regret her decision, and that she would never find happiness again. Despite the ongoing criticism, she continued to dance and laugh, stating that life was not as bad as she had been told. In fact, it was the complete opposite.
Azima emphasized that while divorce is often seen as something negative, it should be viewed as a new beginning. “Yes, it’s a difficult decision and it can make you feel lonely, but being in a marriage where you can’t breathe is worse. Staying stuck in an unhappy marriage is far worse than a divorce,” she said.
She explained that while she never wanted a divorce, it ultimately provided freedom for her and her three children, and it was the best decision for both her and her ex-husband. She expressed that marriage should be based on love and respect, not on the fear of societal judgment.
Azima shared how many Pakistani women sacrifice their happiness just to avoid the label of being divorced. To them, she urged, “Your happiness and peace of mind are important. Life goes on. Don’t be afraid.”
In the final part of her post, Azima confidently declared, “I earn my own money, I eat my own food, I take care of myself, I embrace my own quirks, I am my own favorite. No worries about a man.”
Her message of empowerment, self-love, and freedom has resonated with many, sparking conversations about the stigma surrounding divorce and the importance of personal happiness and independence.
