Parents are to blame for rising divorces, says Behrooz Sabzwari

Renowned actor Behrooz Sabzwari has stirred a heated debate online by holding parents and girls responsible for increasing divorce rates in society.

Recently, he appeared on a private channel's morning show with his wife, Safina Behrooz, where the couple openly discussed their long and successful marriage.

Speaking about his relationship, Behrooz Sabzwari credited his wife for his success. "Safina is the secret of my good fortune. I achieved a lot of success after marrying her," he said.

His wife, Safina Behrooz, echoed similar sentiments, saying, "After so many years of marriage, love, care, and respect have only grown." She added, "My husband takes more care of me."

The veteran actor emphasized the unique bond between spouses. "There is no alternative to the love of parents, and the love of children cannot be denied either. However, there is no parallel of the closeness between husband and wife," he stated.
"No one else can give the same support that a husband and wife provide to each other," he added.
Safina Behrooz highlighted the sacrifices women make in marriage, saying, "A woman makes more sacrifices to make a marriage successful."

He stressed the importance of patience in a relationship, attributing his marital stability to his wife’s efforts. "For a successful marriage, there should be tolerance in the relationship, and my wife played a vital role in keeping my family together," he remarked.

However, his comments on gender roles and divorce sparked controversy. "The role of the man should be more important than the woman in arranging a marriage," he asserted. "Even if the girl is mentally ill, the husband should treat her with love and affection."
Discussing rising divorce rates, he expressed concern over extravagant weddings ending in breakups. "Marriages worth crores of rupees end in just a few months," he observed.

Blaming modern parenting, he remarked, "Tolerance has disappeared among girls these days."

Targeting parents, he said, "Before marriage, parents spoil their daughters with unnecessary pampering. They tell them, ‘We have arranged such an expensive wedding, so don't worry about the future, don't be afraid.’"

He further claimed that such an attitude gives women a sense of entitlement. "That is why after marriage, the girl feels like she has come with a hunter in her hand and does whatever she wants in her new house," he said.

According to Behrooz Sabzwari, "The domineering thinking of girls is not tolerated by their husbands, which is why mental harmony cannot be achieved, resulting in divorce."

His remarks have ignited discussions on social media, with many questioning his comments and calling him misogynistic.
