Marriage in Pakistan is no simple task, says actress Anam Tanveer

Actor Anam Tanveer recently discussed why getting married in Pakistan is harder than in other parts of the world during a podcast with FHM.

Tanveer pointed out that in many other countries, people can marry who they love without considering religion, social status, or background. However, in Pakistan, these factors play a significant role.

She gave examples: “In Pakistan, if a guy from DHA likes a girl from Malir, they often can’t marry because of where they live. This shouldn’t be the deciding factor.”

She added, “If I live in North Nazimabad, a guy might think it’s a cheap and backward area and refuse to marry me. Today, people prioritize where someone lives over compatibility, education, or character. A guy from DHA usually marries a girl from the same area.”

Tanveer also talked about her ideal partner, saying he should respect women, support his wife, and trust her career goals. She concluded by saying, “I haven’t met a single Pakistani man who respects women well.”
