The royal wedding got everyone in utter surprise and love. From the start till the end, the wedding ceremony was nothing but a pure scene from a fairytale. Who knew that this royal wedding was yet to break a lot of barriers put by the family; one by one. No princess has been of colored skin, no princess has been previously married before.
People all over the world was drooling over Meghan’s fate that how did she get married into the royal family. But not many realized her sacrifice that has made to be Prince Harry’s princess. But this Pakistani journalist said something that many only thought but did not have the guts to say it out. So, this Pakistani girl did!
Here’s what she said:
I like Meghan Markle. I liked her particularly in Suits where she played a fashionable para-legal with an attitude I could admire. I love her as a 12-year-old in a Nickelodeon segment fighting against sexist gender roles. But if you are above 10 and think there is anything special about marrying a ‘Prince’, then clearly you need to work out whatever issues have not allowed you to progress beyond a certain point.

If she could have married a man she loved on equal terms, that would have been just dandy, but she chose to obliterate all her accomplishments to become this new person whose only identity is derived from being someone’s wife. Pardon me if I don’t find that particularly exciting or romantic.
P.S If you are going to give me the ‘but she chose this herself and feminism is about choice’ spiel, then please understand that as a woman there are many regressive choices you can make in life; that doesn’t make them automatically feminist. And women can continue making regressive choices, I am not stopping them, I just can’t look up to such a person and envy those choices.

Zakariya said that the discussion has already been made before organizing the marriage. The discussion on how she can not earn independently on her own. How she has to leave the work that she has been doing for a long time and the career she had made all these years.
The love in their eyes, but the sacrifice!
The journalist wrote that people who would say that it was her choice should know that women who made a regressive decision in their life don’t turn out to be feminist in quick!
Well, it seems the debate would take some very twisting turns. What do you guys think??
