      <title>Pakistani woman who remarried 18 years after divorce, says she prioritized children’s acceptance</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330397278/pakistani-woman-who-remarried-18-years-after-divorce-says-she-prioritized-childrens-acceptance</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Pakistani woman, Madiha Kazmi, has opened up about her journey of remarrying 18 years after her divorce, prioritizing her children’s approval over her new relationship.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an interview with BBC Urdu, she said that when her divorce occurred, her children were very young, which led her to prioritize their stability over her own desire to remarry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kazmi explained that societal norms often make it difficult for children to accept their mother’s new partner. Consequently, she set a clear condition for her new relationship: her partner must be willing to embrace her children before she would consider marriage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her son, Abdul Ahad, discussed the journey in a recent interview, sharing that although there had been several proposals over the years, their mother consistently turned them down. However, one day, Kazmi approached Abdul Ahad to discuss a potential match, marking a turning point in their lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the wedding ceremony, Abdul Ahad had the rare honor of being a witness to his mother’s marriage, a moment praised by the cleric officiating the ceremony.&lt;/p&gt;
