"I appeal chief justice of Pakistan to open court for my daughter, who is lost for 14 days". These words of a broken father melt every single Pakistani's heart. People set a trend on social media for the lost dua Zara. The whole nation started praying for the 14 years old girl.

Dua's father went in a famous live show of country " shan e Aftar" appealed to the entire nation for the safety of her daughter and to the government for her safe recovery.

After 1 week, the media found Dua Zara got nikhafied to a boy in Karachi, imagine a 14 years old girl who left her home and got married. This news turns the table, and people start gossiping on social media. Memers used this news as meme material.

After some days, she came live on TV and said; my father used to beat me, they want me to marry forcefully..that's why I took this step and I didn't bring anything from my home. But, she doesn't know she had stolen the most precious thing of their parents " their respect and their right to live with honor".

I m feeling sorry for her parents, feeling sorry for her father who appealed in a love show and her daughter slapped on his face in front of the whole country. but her parents too are responsible for this.

In the current era, after facilitating with all the worldly stuff parents think they have done their duty. They are busy earning day and night just to fulfill their needs. They don't have time to listen to their kids, to listen to their day to night routine, their fears. that's why mostly neglected children commit such kinds of acts. they should consider their kids will too.

The above discussion doesn't mean the daughter isn't responsible. While leaving home and doing such a shameful act she doesn't think one time of his family, she doesn't think she is going to bow to her father for the rest of his life. I pray she lives a happy life ahead, but if things went wrong ( just like in other 99.9% cases) what she will do? where she will go? how can she forget her parent's sacrifices? if you want someone as your partner for life, involve your parents too. they have a lifetime of experience, they know the things you don't. don't leave your home for an unknown person. If he is really sincere with you, he will send an official proposal to your parents.

girls doing such shameful acts are the reason why most the parents don't trust their daughters, why most the brothers don't trust their sisters, why parents in many areas of Pakistan don't allow their daughters to go too far away places in search of education, even don't allow them to go to school.

These kinds of incidents are scary, may Allah protect every single girl out there Amin.

take care of your parents, your loved ones and your eeman.
