When it comes to discussing the desi household troubles women face, they are definitely not unknown. From the gorra rang wows to marriage pressure and from not allowing women to work to fat-shaming them, the troubles desi women go through are well-rooted for decades, enough that they are taken as a normality.

However, the woke generation understands that there is absolutely nothing normal about this. Desi aunties put a lot of pressure on their same gender. They pretty much understand the trauma they went through and they would not do anything to stop the custom from moving forward.

Safe to say, for awoke desi girl, life really sucks because neither the desi men understand, nor the desi women.

Known Commonly As the Pakistani Martha Stewart, Saher is An Artist Who Illustrates the Troubles Desi Women Go Through

She uses the digital artwork to showcase different subtle, extreme and not-to-extreme situations desi women face off and on.

Here are a few examples of the splendid and super relatable work Sehar does:

We All Know and Have This Type of an Aunty in Our Circle

They just won’t let the women breath!

Divorce is looked upon as a taboo in South Asian societies. But men who divorce don’t face the same barriers that women do from their family, friends and community. Rather they face the blunt of the blame for any shortcomings in the marriage. ” She should think of the children”, “She’s already spent so many years with him now, what’s the point of divorce now?”, ” Who will marry her now?”, “Now she will be her parents burden” and so much more. No one blinks an eye when a divorced male moves on to remarry or move on with his life. However when a female tries to do so, she is scrutinized in all aspects of her life, any decision she chooses to make to move on. The problem also stems from our societies fantasizing marriage as a sacred rite, which must be upheld even in the face of all sorts of compromises. Compromises which are put as a burden on a woman’s shoulders most of the time. He cheated? Just forgive him, where else will you go? He abuses you? He doesn’t care for you? He doesn’t support you? So on and so on. It never ends, the suggestion is always the same. Just stay, compromise, there is no other option. If a woman decides to divorce a man and move on from her marriage, it is no business of yours what she is doing with her life now. Whether she wants to remarry, whether she doesn’t remarry, whether she works, or goes back to school or lives with her parents. It’s none of your business. Your backwards comments dressed as fake sympathies are helping no one.

Stop Treating Them Like One

Clean up after yourself, share the chores and household duties. She’s your wife, not your naukar. #thepakistanimarthastewart

Because In Our Society, the Approval of the Parents for Your Marriage is the Only Thing that Matters

Instead of “I said yes” for us desi girls it’s… “Our parents said yes”?
