Faysal Quraishi criticises parents who abandon married daughters

Pakistani actor Faysal Quraishi has spoken out against parents who refuse to support their married daughters, even when they face abuse or injustice in their marital homes. He stressed that marriage should never become a reason for parents to abandon their children.

The actor recently appeared on the talk show Gup Shab to promote his upcoming Punjabi film Mango Jutt, scheduled for release on October 16. During the programme, host Vasay Chaudhary asked him about his earlier remarks concerning married daughters.

Faysal strongly criticised the mindset that a married daughter should return to her parents’ home only after her death. He questioned why parents who raise their daughters with love and care would turn their backs on them after marriage.

He said it was particularly painful when parents knew their daughters were facing mistreatment or physical abuse but still refused to let them return home. According to the actor, parents should stand beside their daughters and provide them with support rather than leave them trapped in harmful situations.

Faysal emphasised that a daughter remains a parent’s child even after marriage. He urged families to prioritise their daughters’ safety and well-being instead of treating marriage as a permanent separation from their birth families.

During the discussion, the actor also recalled a television drama featuring Shamil Khan in a supportive role. He praised the storyline for portraying a man who stood by a woman, although he initially confused the drama’s lead actor before correcting himself to mention Mohib Mirza.

Faysal’s remarks have brought attention to the social pressure faced by married women who experience difficulties in their relationships but hesitate to seek help because of family expectations. His comments underline the importance of offering daughters a safe and supportive home, regardless of their marital status.
