Pakistani actress, singer, and host Fiza Ali took the center stage in an online debate following her recent remarks on feminism and polygamy during a Ramadan transmission.
Her comments quickly spread like wildfire, sparking mixed reactions over social media. Fiza Ali is hosting both a morning show and a Ramadan transmission.
She voiced her opinions on women’s rights and Islamic teachings. She strongly spoke severely about the feminist slogan Mera Jism Meri Marzi.
She explained that feminists mainly support women who reject household responsibilities—at the same time, ignoring the struggles of Hijabi and practicing Muslim women.
She stated, “It is easy to support bold and fashionable women, but no one stands up for those who work for their families while adhering to Islamic values.”
These could be supporting widows or divorced women in need. However, she criticized the way men misuse this permission for personal desires.
She boldly added, “Men here usually marry for lust. If you want a second marriage, then first divorce your wife. The concept of polygamy in Islam is for those who wish to protect someone without a guardian.”
Her statements have divided the internet. Supporters applauded her for standing up for Hijabi women and speaking out against polygamy, while critics questioned her.
They believed that she did not understand Islamic teachings clearly. One user praised her, saying, “You spoke my heart and logically explained it.” On the other hand, a critic responded, “Women with multiple marriages are ranting against polygamy.”
As the debate intensified, Fiza Ali stood steadfast in her opinions, proving that discussions about feminism and Islamic values continue to be a controversial topic in Pakistan.
