    Having children is such a amazing experience only a mother can tell this. I was working lady but now i don’t want to work i love to spent my time with my lovely kids i love to my kids more then money. i am raising them doing my best efforts to teach them moralities so they can play a good role in society even i don’t want my little one grow quickly i love her talking with a broken words.its sooo amazing and heart feel soo much peace when your child hug you kiss you and ask you many innocent questions some time i feel sad but my children do something which make me laugh and help to forget my worries. I live in west i know how the old people sit alone and watching others with flat eyes they don’t have any one to who they can share their happiness or sorrows.

I am not ready to comprise my happiness and peace of mind. There is absolutely nothing wrong being single and having no children. I have an amazing family who never interferes in my life and trust to me to make the best decision of the life I chose.

    Very good conversation. Our society says that burhapay mein kaun sahara banay ga. First of all no one knows what their future withholds. Also just because someone has kids there isn’t any guarantee they’ll be your support system. Life can make any turn any time in your life. And pressuring women for marriage or planning to have kids after marriage is to me a very disgraceful thing to do. Because your life is no one else’s business. You being an adult and a responsible person has this right to make any decision for your life that suits best for you. And for which you don’t have to regret later on. Because guilt and regret eats you from the inside. It steals away your happiness from you. Anything done under pressure or without your willingness won’t give you happiness. Just because majority does it or follows the norm of the society doesn’t mean the rest has to do the same. It’s okay not to follow the crowd and create your own path and walk that path. When they are not the ones paying your expenses. They aren’t their for you in your sorrow or happiness. Then these people by no means has the right to interfere in your life or tell you what you’re suppose to be doing with your life. When they don’t even care about your well being. There care is only limited to the point where they can get personal gain from you. Or just want something to talk about. Because they don’t have anything else to do in their lives besides trying to figure out what’s going on in somebody else’s life.
    Our society thinks that a women’s worth and value comes from having a man in her life. Or whether or not she has kids. You are still a valuable, and worthy person, beautiful in your own way, deserving the same respect regardless of the choices and decisions you’ve made for your life. Atleast you own your decisions. So, if you ever have to bare with those consequences it’s yours. You own your happiness, sorrow, problems, failures, choices and decisions you’ve made for your life. Those are yours and you own them. Unfortunately, the world we live in has this stereotype. They want you to blend in with them and wear the same colors and shades they are wearing. Life is too short to worry about what others think of you. You live your life once. Live it to your fullest. Explore it! Life is an adventure, it’s a beautiful journey and not everyone is fortunate enough to see it’s beauty. Life itself is a huge blessing from God. And one should be thankful to God for every breathe they take. Live out your dreams. In this world we live in one must develop a thick skin. Not letting anything get under their skin. And bother them. Because people are people. You are only responsible for what you say, not for what they understand. It’s their mentality and you can’t make them think. So, just accept the fact that people are people and some will never change no matter what. People these days don’t care how they make you feel. They lack empathy, understanding and compassion. They are not willing to understand other perspectives. Their side of the story. There mentality is only limited to that box. They can’t think outside the box. If they could, this world would have been a better place to live.

    I am the youngest of all siblings, with a large generational gap with everyone in the family, who was conceived because "burhapay ka sahara hoga akhri bacha". I was raised with this reiteration everyday so I sacrificed my life choices, ambitions and career because of this responsibility while everyone else ran off to live their lives. I am happy to take care of my parents, but who is responsible for the mental trauma. I genuinely wish people conceive with intention, because that "burhapay ka sahara" that you raised is a mental nut case now.

    Having children or not to have children that’s a couple’s own choice, but in my humble opinion such topics should be registered as a clause in the nikkanama and not postponed for a discussion after marriage.
    If at time of nikkah both partners agree on not to procreate then it’s fine, else bringing up this discussion after nikkah has a 50% probability of one partner disagreeing to the idea and causing complications in relationship.
    Islam totally permits us to put forward this clause in nikkanama, therefore there shouldn’t be a hesitation of discussing it pre marriage

      Nikah Nama is a marital contract that is only used for legal proceedings later on if something really bad happens in a couple's life. If a person really has some views and ambitions which do not match with the society he is living in then he should choose his life partner wisely. Life partner choose krtay time jo laan taan sunni hai society se wo sun ly... nai to nikah namay main cluases likhwa k bhi apko koi khas faida nai hona... Life miserable e honi hai tab bhi apki... phir adaalton main ja k bhi alag e zalalat hoti hai Pakistan main to... is liye acha nai thori proactive approch k sath chala jaye...?

Sacrifices are the major part in every single relationship, you say so that due to children, women neglect their selves and got depression. But then how will you get that rank which is titled. You will not get to know the value of motherhood until you be that, sister. You will realize later.

But this burhapay ka Sahara we decided two things firstly, that we will bring them up thinking that we don't need anything from them in our old age and secondly what ever we spend on then interms of finance, time n emotion we will never throw on them from their childhood as people say "we did this n that for u and now u r doing this with us".

They do love their children but at same time in deep down their heart they know this is not the life they wanted.

    Thanks for the consistency with a Taboo topic but most of interview was in response to the personal or negative comments that she use to face... It could have been more productive and challenging if real questions based upon Islamic, social and psychological philosophy could have been asked. Such as,
    What is her view about Hadees in which woman prone to conceive more?
    Why actually they get married even that could have been delayed with mutual consent?
    What are their views about legacy?
    etc etc

Children are hope and reason fornour happiness. Secondly, there wont be anyone who will do dua e maghfirat after you die.If you cant have children thats another issue but intentionally you dont want , that a loss for you in this world and hereafter.

      Absolutely Erum, iam an early years teacher. I used to work in Pakistan and lived half of my life there now i live in the UK. People have started picking wrong trends just because what West is doing. Unfortunately, the young generation is more than happy to pick up wrong stuff but don't want to learn the ethics, morals and values from the west. Perhaps now thge West people are more into having children and families. It's good to give choice and as a human its absolutely necessary to have individual decisions, however at the same time in doing so no one should go against the nature's laws. Yes, to be able to take care of another human is the autmost important responsibility but it should never be made an issue or a problem. Having kids bring blessings and parents learn to live life in real sense, they bring in joy and give you strength to face challenges in life. It should be a choice but not by making it an issue or point of women empowerment. We are empowered already, I remember a British lady once said to me, who says that women are weak? Just look at when a mother gives birth its like cracking up all your bones in your body. Unfortunately, the media has become a trash ground these days.

My wife and I should have waited for a couple of years to spend some time with each other. But trust me kids are not only the SAHARA of oldness... they also bring a lot of joy to your life...
