Singer Mohsin Abbas Haider’s wife speaks up against domestic violence

Women have started speaking up!

Since the #MeToo movement we have seen a great awakening among the women regarding their rights. While many women chose to stay shut about any violence and harassment against them have now decided to come out in open and talk about their stories. Even in Pakistan, women have started mustering the courage against the powerful and influential men which seemed just a dream some years ago. It was almost a year or more ago when Meesha Shafi accused her colleague Ali Zafar of sexual harassment. While that issue is still in courts here comes Mohsin Abbas Haider, the famous actor, and singer, who has recently been accused of acute domestic violence by his wife Fatema Sohail in a Facebook post.

‘Societal Pressure or not but there is a limit to put a full stop!’

According to Fatema Sohail, the wife of Mohsin Abbas Haider, her husband was cheating on her for his girlfriend. When she confronted him, she was badly tortured during her pregnancy. Mohsin Abbas Haider did not even come to visit his wife and newborn child immediately. He visited them after two days just for the sake of social media attention.

According to Fatema Sohail, she went to Mohsin’s house for him to acknowledge and take responsibility for his child but he refused and tortured her once again. Fatema Sohail also posted photographs of her bruises and injured face.

She said, ‘Societal pressure or not but there is a limit to put a full stop!’

Many people took Twitter to express their views on this issue.

There is definitely no ‘other side of the story’ when it comes to violence.

It is also shocking that most of the people who knew Mohsin Abbas Haider or had worked with him had no idea of his violent tendencies.

This reminds us of a teary-eyed video released by Ali Zafar when everyone decided to believe his innocence.

When Mohsin Abbas Haider was contacted he said that he would soon have a press conference to put forward his side of the story. Mohsin Abbas Haider and Fatema Sohail got married in 2015 in a small ceremony. Their first child was a daughter Mahveen abbas Haider who passed away in one month. In May 2019, they were blessed with their son Haider Abbas Mohsin.

Domestic violence and mental health should be taken seriously.

While the bruises and words of the victim Fatema Sohail narrate one story, many people on social media also decided to doubt her with a number of justifications which even included a religious perspective. While people’s reaction explains a lot about the real reason behind domestic violence, it also tells that even in today’s time and age when women have started coming forward with their stories they are doubted and looked down upon. This incident also highlights the importance of mental health issues that need urgent help. Many patients around us never address their issues and end up creating even bigger problems for the people around them. Violence, in any case, has no ‘other’ side of the story and should be condemned.
