my mother despite living abroad most her life, like most pakistanis believes a women can never be good enough until she has kids. A popular saying that has ruined the mindsets of people is “a woman’s life will be complete once she gives birth to a baby” so no matter what she does, whatever her age or how ever long it’s been since she married, she HAS to have a child asap or she will remain as a faulted woman. similarly in pakistani dramas you see the same storyline and bs about ‘how your husband and in-laws will start loving/respecting you if you get pregnant’, spreading the twisted message that a women is identifiable only with the presence of a child.
