In country where splitting up is mostly seen as shameful, one woman chose to look at it differently. Feeya, a young Pakistani woman, took internet by storm after she publicly celebrated her mother’s divorce—ending a marriage that had brought nothing but emotional harm for three decades.
Feeya posted online about her mother finally being free from an abusive relationship, explaining how their family had a small dinner with cake to mark what they saw not as an end, but a beginning. Her father, she said, had walked out on them almost ten years ago, but real closure only came now—after years of fear, threats, and mental abuse.
The post blew up fast, spreading across social media with people sharing their thoughts. Lot of them stood with Feeya, saying it was brave and powerful to treat the divorce like a milestone of healing. “She suffered too long, this is freedom, not failure,” someone wrote.
Still, not everyone was on board. Few people online criticized the move, saying divorce—even if allowed—is still looked down on in religion and culture. “These things shouldn’t be made public like that,” one person commented, calling it insensitive.
Feeya later responded, saying people had no idea what her mother had gone through. She described years of controlling behavior, manipulation, and threats that involved weapons. For her, the divorce was more than papers—it was about survival, recovery, and taking back her life.
Her story now has sparked wider debates—about how Pakistani society views divorce, how women are expected to suffer in silence, and why freedom from abuse deserves more recognition. In a culture where pain often gets buried, Feeya’s post gave voice to many who quietly live the same reality.
