Asma Abbas recently appeared on Good Morning Pakistan, where she and her youngest daughter-in-law, Sameen Ahmed, were featured in the special Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law segment. Sameen and Asma\u2019s youngest son, Ahmed got married in January of this year.<\/p>\n

On the show, they shared a candid and heartwarming conversation about family dynamics, the role of women in her household, and the importance of maintaining a balance between career and family life.<\/p>\n

Asma\u2019s message for her daughters-in-law, particularly Sameen, was both relevant and empowering. She shared her thoughts on the role of women in her family, emphasising that she values their education and believes they should use it to its fullest potential. I encourage my daughters-in-law to work because they\u2019ve earned their degrees, and those shouldn\u2019t go to waste?\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

In a society where many women are often expected to pause their careers after marriage, Asma\u2019s supportive stance on women pursuing professional goals was refreshing and much needed.<\/p>\n

During the discussion, Asma was asked about her two other daughters-in-law, to which she revealed, \u201cYes, they work as well.\u201d She stressed the importance of maintaining a home while also acknowledging that there\u2019s no need for women to be confined to house duties. \u201cWhat will they do sitting at home? We have house help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sameen, who praised her in-laws for being kind and supportive, fondly recalled her first day in the family, when she had stayed up late, only to wake up to a welcoming and humorous response instead of a scolding. \u201cI was expecting to be scolded for waking up late, but instead, they were really warm,\u201d Sameen shared.<\/p>\n

In a lighthearted moment, Asma added that she enjoys when women dress up in the morning for their work. \u201cI like it when women dress up in the morning and go out for their work,\u201d she said with a smile. When asked about Sameen\u2019s habit of sleeping in, Asma responded with a playful tone, \u201cI don\u2019t mind her waking up late. It reminds me of Zara, she also loves her sleep,\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n

Internet Reacts<\/p>\n

Asma\u2019s candid statements on Good Morning Pakistan received widespread praise from viewers, who admired her modern and supportive perspective on women\u2019s empowerment. Many applauded her belief in the importance of women pursuing careers and their education. However, there were some viewers who felt that Asma should not be concerned with whether her daughter-in-law chooses to work, as this should be a personal decision.<\/p>\n

One user commended her by saying, \u201cThis type of mindset is rare in Pakistani society!\u201d and another one added, \u201cSociety needs mother-in-laws like you, you\u2019re a gem.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the flip side, some were of the opinion that Asma Abbas\u2019s remarks were not as progressive as she thought. \u201cOh God, Pakistani women are never going to change. If a woman wants to sit at home, even that is a problem now. Why does a mother-in-law get to say anything at all about whether one works or roams in a night dress? She\u2019s missed the whole point while trying to act like she\u2019s nailed it.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
