Dania Shah Seeks Government Security Amid Threats Over Remarriage
In a shocking turn of events, Dania Shah, the ex-wife of the late Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussain, a renowned Pakistani TV host, has reportedly received threats of severe consequences for remarrying. Following these alarming messages, Dania and her current husband, Hakeem Shahzad, have sought government security to ensure their safety.
According to a recent media report, the Multan High Court Bench, presided over by Justice Asim Hafeez, heard the petition filed by the couple seeking security. The petition highlighted the threats of serious consequences that Dania received through international calls for remarrying, which has put their lives in jeopardy.
The petitioner revealed that despite writing to all relevant institutions, no security had been provided to them yet. In an attempt to resolve the matter, the petitioner had applied to the Home Secretary, Punjab, to provide security, offering to bear the expenses. However, no tangible action has been taken so far.
In a harrowing account, the petitioner stated that Hakeem Shahzad was threatened to divorce Dania Shah immediately, or else he would be shot dead. These menacing messages have created a climate of fear for the couple, who are now seeking government intervention to ensure their protection.
Dania Shah’s past marriage to the well-known religious scholar Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussain, who passed away earlier, has added a layer of complexity to the situation. Her decision to remarry has apparently sparked outrage among some, leading to these threats of violence.
The case highlights the pressing issue of women’s safety and security in Pakistan, particularly in the face of patriarchal societal norms and religious extremism. Dania Shah’s bold decision to remarry after the demise of her former husband has been met with resistance and intimidation, underscoring the need for a more inclusive and tolerant society.
As the petition makes its way through the judiciary, the Pakistani government is under pressure to provide adequate security to the couple, ensuring their right to live without fear of persecution or violence. The authorities must take concrete steps to address the petition and provide the necessary protection to Dania Shah and her husband, Hakeem Shahzad.
the threats faced by Dania Shah and her husband serve as a stark reminder of the challenges women face in Pakistan’s patriarchal society. It is imperative for the government and civil society to work together to create a safe and inclusive environment, where individuals, particularly women, can exercise their fundamental rights without fear of reprisal or persecution.
