Renowned Pakistani actress Saba Faisal has ignited a conversation about marriage age in a recent podcast interview with Hafiz Ahmed, where she expressed her belief that girls should consider marrying by the age of 25.
During the engaging discussion, Saba reflected on various aspects of her life, including her marriage and career. When asked about the appropriate age for women to marry, she noted that while girls traditionally married at 20 in her time, she feels this is also premature. “I believe girls should marry before the age of 25,” she stated.
Saba emphasized that as young women become more independent, they often realize they are just as capable as their male counterparts. “Everybody has their perspective,” she acknowledged, adding that for her, the ideal marriage age aligns with a time when women are gaining confidence in their abilities. Importantly, she remarked that marriage does not have to interfere with one’s professional aspirations, underscoring her belief in balancing personal and professional growth.
Her comments have sparked a lively debate, with listeners weighing in on the significance of marriage timing in contemporary society.
