Sadaf Kanwal’s statement on feminism and liberals divides twitter

The actress, who is also a model and wife of Shahroz Sabzwari, gave an interview along with her husband and shared details about her life, marriage and work.

On the topic of marriage, Sadaf said that she has some standard rules which she believes are the key to a successful marriage.

“My rules are very simple. You should consider your husband your husband. He should have a greater status because he is a man. He earns and feeds the family. I work also, but I can’t compete with him. I will take care of my kids someday. I can’t be on the same level as him. A woman can never take care of things the way a man does. That’s what I believe.”

When asked about her interpretation of feminism, Sadaf said that a woman is not miserable and she is very strong.

“Aurat is not bechari at all. A woman is very strong. I feel very strong and surely you [the host] must be strong as well. In our society, our culture is our husband. I have to pick up his shoes, iron his clothes. I should also know where my husband’s stuff is and what and when he has to eat.”

Ascribing feminism to ‘increasing liberals’ in society, Sadaf said that she should know more about her husband than he does because she is a woman.

Sadaf’s remarks have prompted a debate on twitter with some upset over her remarks.

A strong women is the one who knows how to babysit her husband... Ajeeb Logics. Bibi pehle ye to decide krlo Sherry ko pta hona chahye ya nahi pta hona chahye. ? #SadafKanwal pic.twitter.com/tTRUXlgdLE

Nothing wrong with wanting to take care of your husband

But what is this "sherry ko mera nahin pata hona chahiye" ??

Honey, marriage is a two way street#SadafKanwal https://t.co/SBLOwzAcQb

Knowing your spouse's needs, looking after their comfort isn't a function of gender. It's rooted in love. And it goes both ways. Men ought to extend the same courtesy. Why the hell would you bring this argument up for feminism??? https://t.co/zHNeavWPKZ

the whole concept of aurat march and feminism is going in a complete different way. feminism isn’t for your lifestyle choices and personal opinions. it’s for the women who are being oppressed on a daily basis and women who don’t have the rights that we do.#SadafKanwal

There were some who agreed with her statement and praised her stance over feminism.

#SadafKanwal I absolutely agree with you feminism doesn't mean I am above my husband it means he and I respect each other with love .... And Allah has made me custodian of my house where my husband earns and i make sure it's spent wisely...I don't find anything wrong in her ...
