A recent statement by Dr Nabiha Ali Khan has set off a storm of debate across social media, after she suggested that men expect their wives to maintain a certain level of physical attractiveness after marriage. The clip, taken from a podcast conversation, has gone viral and prompted strong reactions from both supporters and critics.
In the video, Dr Nabiha said, “Khoobsurat jism wali aurat ko dekhna mard ka haq hai, mard ko khoobsurti chahiye,” implying that it is a man’s right to look at a beautiful woman and that beauty remains a priority for men. She went on to claim that many women gain weight after marriage, leaving men with “nothing to look at.”
Her remarks immediately drew widespread condemnation, with many accusing her of reinforcing harmful body shaming and unrealistic beauty standards. Critics argued that her comments ignored the emotional, physical, and societal pressures women face after marriage, including pregnancy, childcare, and household responsibilities. They also questioned why the expectation of maintaining physical appearance is so often placed solely on women.
Supporters of Dr. Nabiha, however, contended that she was simply pointing out a social reality. They argued that, regardless of whether the standard is fair, societal expectations around beauty do exist, and conversations about mutual effort in marriages should not be off limits.
The debate has highlighted a broader clash of viewpoints about gender roles, beauty expectations, and the ways social commentary is delivered in the digital age. Many online users said they were troubled not only by the substance of Dr Nabiha’s comments but also the tone in which they were delivered, which they felt diminished the dignity of women who struggle with weight, health challenges, or postpartum changes.
Others questioned why conversations about marriage seldom include expectations placed on men. Several commenters pointed out that men also experience weight gain and physical changes after marriage and that relationships should focus on mutual respect rather than appearance-based judgments.
As the clip continues to circulate, it has sparked important conversations about body image and societal pressures, while also raising questions about the responsibility of public figures when addressing sensitive cultural topics.
For now, the controversy shows no signs of fading, and Dr Nabiha Ali Khan’s remarks have become yet another flashpoint in the ongoing debate about beauty standards and gender expectations in modern society.
