In a recent interview, renowned Pakistani actress, model, and TV host Juggan Kazim addressed the growing divorce rate in society, attributing it to parents advising their children to opt for divorce rather than working through marital challenges.
During a special interview with leading personality Masarat Masbah in the Pakistan media industry, Juggan Kazim discussed her second marriage and divorce, shedding light on the complexities of making such decisions. Kazim admitted that deciding on a second marriage was particularly challenging for her as she was already a mother, and she was hesitant about potentially disrupting her child’s future due to another marriage.
Juggan shared that involving her son in the decision-making process was crucial, ensuring that her son would be comfortable with Faisal (her second husband) before proceeding. This approach aimed to maintain positive relationships between Faisal, herself, and her son.
The process of deciding on a second marriage took approximately six months for Juggan Kazim, taking into account the time needed to communicate the decision to her son and gradually ensuring that everything fell into place after the second marriage.
Kazim, while advising women in similar situations, emphasized the importance of caution. She suggested that any single mother considering remarriage should prioritize meeting the potential partner personally, ensuring that they genuinely care for both the woman and her children’s well-being before making a decision.
Reflecting on the rising divorce rates, Juggan Kazim acknowledged the modern shift in attitudes towards divorce, stating that it has become more acceptable than in the past. She highlighted the prevailing trend of opting for divorce rather than making efforts to salvage relationships, a phenomenon she attributes to changing mindsets and the ease with which divorces are now granted.
The actress further emphasized the emotional toll divorce takes, stating that it breaks a person internally, leaving a lasting impact. While divorce might seem like an easy solution, Juggan encourages individuals to exhaust all efforts to save their marriages before contemplating separation.
Juggan Kazim’s insights shed light on the evolving societal attitudes towards divorce in Pakistan, urging a reconsideration of cultural norms and the importance of valuing the sanctity of marriage while navigating the challenges that may arise.
