Komal Rizvi, speaking publicly about her divorce for the first time, said: “My marriage was semi-arranged, which is a weighty and significant topic in my life. Our society places a lot of emphasis on a girl’s marriage and expects her to make it work, but it fails to establish boundaries that cannot be crossed. I was not taught these limits and was led to believe in my husband and his family. Unfortunately, it did not turn out as I hoped.”
The actress further added: “I was completely uninformed about the struggle to protect my basic rights. It took me four years to comprehend the situation. I was subjected to torture, abuse, and manipulation through his mind games. He even hit me with a frying pan, claiming that I served him cold food. He was mentally ill and physically abusive, but I stayed for 3.6 years because of my lack of understanding. It saddens me that I lost my prime years in this manner.”
The actress continued: “I got married at 21 years old and was in Oman with my husband. Unfortunately, the police there didn’t assist me as they considered it a domestic matter. I was left alone with an abusive man who physically and financially mistreated me.
