Durr-e-shahwar regressive??

so basically the show intended to show that men can be as mean to their wives, but wives need to keep their calm and put up with all of it? what sort of message is this?? not every man can change you know! shehwar was lucky that her husband did! and seriously I think the father of shehwar knew what she was going through, still he let it be?? I am sorry but the serial is good, however regressive

Seems like you missed the point of the show. Do pay close attention to the dialogues and you will realize that it promoted peace in a family and therefore society at the cost of compromise, sacrifice and most of all ego. Compromise and subjugation are not the same thing...compromise and humiliation are not the same thing. And compromise and defeat are certainly not the same thing. It says something about the egoistical nature of the society we live in if compromise, regardless of whose part it is on, is considered as something regressive and lowly to be faulted or looked down upon.

Umera Ahmed, as a writer, focuses on depicting societal and psychological issues and norms in the world we find around us. The situation Durr-e-Shehwar found herself in and the way she was dealt with by people around her was both life and society happening to her, just as they happen to all of us. How she chose to deal with it based on her father's encouragement and advice was her RISING above that society and the challenges of life to make a personally successful and happy living for herself. That's what the show tried to convey...how you can turn your life around by the way you approach it and the amount of work you put into it. Someone put it very beautifully and concisely somewhere that this show portrayed how life throws curve balls at all of us, but the way we deal with them determines whether we come out as victims or survivors.

It showed the immense strength and will that a woman can possess as the very basic unit that makes up and nurtures a family and society. If you were looking for a loud display of 'strength' that involves an unrelenting nature, big words and flashy behaviour, then yes, I'm sure you will have been disappointed. Durr-e-Shehwar was about wisdom to deal with situations and challenges that most women face in their lives, not about bra-burning feminism so maybe you're looking at the wrong show to find that kind of 'strength' in.
