Appearing on Nadir Ali Podcast, Komal Rizvi spoke about about a very “heavy” and “serious” topic. She spoke candidnly about how was married at a young age and how badly she suffered through it.
Sharing some shocking details she narrated how her ex-husband abused her physically and psychologically, hitting her with a frying pan for serving cold food and the gaslighting her by blaming her for his actions.
Rizvi went on to drop some truths about how society creates an unsafe and insecure environment for girls. “I have a complaint for our society — it doesn’t teach our daughters what the line is. The line, that, forget your husband, no one can cross because it will result in the loss of your self-respect, confidence and self-esteem. You won’t be able to trust yourself or have faith in yourself and your happiness will be ruined if you let them cross this line. No one taught me this.”
“It took me four years to realise that it isn’t my fault if he raises his hand at me or oppresses me [and that] he’s also playing mind games alongside that. Mind games like ‘It was your fault I hit you with a frying pan — why did you serve me cold food?’,” she said. “I was so young at the time that when he would repeat these same things, play psychological games, I would believe that maybe if I love him more, if I try harder, he’ll be happy with me. But a person who is sick — yes, he’s sick — a person who does such uncouth things like raising a hand on someone — there is nothing more uncouth than that."
