BOLTON: The wife Pakistan’s boxing legend Amir Khan, Faryal Makhdoom, on Tuesday, speaks up against her in-laws and domestic abuse she had been facing after her marriage. She directly took the matter to her public Snapchat account and openly shared her troubles with Khan’s family and sisters.
“Don’t get your sons married if you’re going to abuse and bully the wife. I’ve always been so quiet but seriously, this message is for everyone! When you bring someone’s daughter -- treat her as your own. Your son will be much happier and so will you”, Khan's wife writes with a heavy heart.
“My husband has done far more than any son has done. And far more than any brother has done. But why is he treated so bad? Jealousy? Hatred for his wife? That’s disgusting”, Faryal continues.
“When you force your son to divorce his wife, when she’s nine months pregnant!!! And your son doesn’t…and he sticks besides his wife. He’s called a p*ssy? Ok, I’m guessing Islam teaches us to get married and divorce our wives and treat them bad???", she outrages.
“What about when you sisters-in-law come to hit you when your husband is not home and still you don’t raise your hand out of respect for your husband! Then they think it’s okay to bully you in public and call you BAD! Get the f*ck out of here.”
“Let me stop. God is my witness and that’s why I’m living a great life with my husband and beautiful daughter. J free of jealousy and hatred of anyone -- that’s too much energy wasted on a bunch of lame online bullies!”
“Khan family is definitely respected. And that’s because of AMIR KHAN, not a bunch of robbing, selfish, unappreciated PEOPLE!"
"I worked my *ss off on a catwalk from 7am till 12am at night. My husband is a multi-millionaire but still work and do my own as I can never touch his BLOOD money, when I have a right too! And then I get hating evil sister-in-laws shi**ing on me?"
"Everything I do is for my daughter LAMISAH. I would never put money over my child", Faryal finishes writing on Snapchat.
Khan's wife even posted a screenshot of her sister-in-law, Mariyah Khan, engaged into bullying with online bullies on her official Instagram account.
Amir Khan is a successful British-Pakistani boxer, holding the prestigious World Boxing Association world champion title for three years along with a number of other awards. Whereas, Faryal Makhdoom is a model, make-up artist, activist and lifestyle influencer with her own YouTube channel and a huge social media fan following, especially on Instagram.
This is for the first time that she brought her personal family matter into spotlight and highlighted the issue of domestic abuse and bullying by in-laws in Pakistani culture.
This is what general public thinks about Khan's wife raising voice against in-laws and taking such a bold step on social media:
