Maria B slams parents abandoning children

Pakistani fashion designer Maria B has raised concerns about children being abandoned by their families following their parents’ divorce and remarriage.

In a recent Instagram video, several children living in orphanages shared heartbreaking accounts of how their mothers left them after separating from their fathers and starting new lives. According to their accounts, neither parent continued to care for them or visit them afterward.

Reacting to the interviews, Maria B criticized parents and family members who fail to take responsibility for children despite being alive and present. She questioned why fathers, maternal grandparents, uncles, and other relatives often refuse to support children who are left without proper care.

Maria B also highlighted the risks faced by children growing up without family protection, stressing that leaving them in orphanages without maintaining contact can expose them to serious dangers. She urged Pakistani families to recognize their responsibilities and prioritize children’s safety and well-being.

Addressing single mothers, the designer acknowledged the financial and social challenges they may encounter after divorce. She encouraged women to develop professional skills, work toward financial independence, and build a secure future for themselves and their children.

Maria B emphasized that children should never become victims of family disputes or remarriage decisions. Her remarks have sparked discussions on social media, with many users appreciating her for highlighting the struggles of abandoned children and questioning the responsibility of parents and extended families.

Some women also shared their experiences, explaining that they had chosen not to remarry because they wanted to prioritize their children’s upbringing and future.
