Pakistani television series, Dobara, produced by Momina Duraid, has been in talks for challenging social norms of a widow remarrying a young partner.
The drama features Hadiqa Kiani and Bilal Abbas Khan in pivotal roles. Mehrunisa, played by Kiani, gets another chance to remarry a young partner after his first husband’s death in his early seventies.
She was married off to her husband, Hidayatullah, at the mere age of 16 by her father when her husband was twice her age. Now, after his death, she has a chance to transform her life. However, the taboos surrounding a widow’s life catch up with her quickly. Additionally, her wish to remarry a younger partner makes it even more challenging for her to take this chance to alter her life for the better.
FINALLY found a new Pakistani drama that has such an amazing storyline. A must watch. Featuring powerful performances from @Hadiqa_Kiani @SakinaSamo @bilalabbas_khan
Touching on child marriage, finding love again & SO many other great topics. 😭❤️👏🏽#Dobara on @Humtvnetwork pic.twitter.com/0aqyMOD3d2— Kanwal Ahmed (@kanwalful) December 2, 2021
In our society, widows are expected to mourn their husband’s demise all their remaining lives, live a modest/restrained life, not wish to remarry. Other constraints of similar nature are also imposed. The Pakistani drama industry had not touched upon this sensitive topic earlier, but now it has, and it looks like it is pulling just the right strings.
The audience praises the drama for sending such a positive message across – that women deserve to be happy, no matter their age or marital status.
Kiani’s character is not just getting married again, but also to a younger partner, which again is a huge concern in society. The topics are sensitive, and all the reasons to watch the show.
#dobara Dobara is bitter sweet, where it is challenging the stereotypical notions of society about age difference in marriage, it is also giving hopes and dreams to many women which might not get fulfilled or hard to be true, as our society and our mindsets are maybe not ready to pic.twitter.com/G72NAKru2g
