Zoya Nasir revealed that she first got married when she was 19 to a guy who was eight years older than her, and the marriage ended up in divorce.
“While I don’t want to get into details, it’s important to share that I was 19 when I got married. I was so young, even for my age, that I didn’t know how to take a stand for myself or how to greet people as a bahu (daughter-in-law),” she recalled the struggles of early marriage.

“I wasn’t a partner in my marriage, I was a kid, given responsibilities. My world was so small at the time that I’d succumbed to anything they’d ask of me. I never reflected on who I was as a person, I just became how people wanted me to. I’d accept mistakes even when I wasn’t at fault,” Nasir explained.
“When I got divorced, my family realised that it wasn’t the right move for anyone that young. I needed to broaden my horizon,” she added, urging all the parents not to marry off their young girls or they’ll end up living an inferior life to other people.
