Matrimonial Monday Thread (October 26, 2026)

0 Upvotes

Khush amdeed to this week's Matrimonial Monday.

It's the place where you can talk all things related to rishta, shaadi, susraal stories, relationship advice, and even aashiq e namuraadi! Share stories and memes, seek advice, heck, even rip the rishta culture to pieces, given the absolute state of it!

Now, you might be wondering, "Can I post my marriage profile on here? Maybe slip into someone's DMs with my biodata? Shoot my shot, perhaps?"

Well, boy oh boy, have I got a word for you...

NO! GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT PROFILE!

LAY OFF THE POOR FOLKS, WILL YA?! SHEESH! YOU'RE A CREEP! GO AWAY! WE WERE HAVING A GOOD TIME UNTIL YOU SHOWED UP, MATE! UGHH! GO HAVE SOME CHAI WITH ELAICHI OR SOMETHING...

BECAUSE I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING: THIS IS A HAPPY PLACE!

National Pakistanis Work Abroad So Elites Can Live Better in DHA: Atif Mian

Renowned economist Atif Mian has said Pakistan’s policy of sending its workers abroad is built to bring home foreign currency so that the elite can “live off DHA better,” and that this thinking has to change.

Discussion A Patient is Not a Teaching Specimen - My Humiliating Experience as a 21-Year-Old at a Urologist

242 Upvotes

I am a 21-year-old male patient with bilateral undescended testes. Yesterday I visited a urologist for my reports. Instead of counseling me privately, the doctor discussed my most sensitive and painful diagnosis - including words like "you will become not a man if testicles are removed" - in front of 5-6 female students to teach them, without taking my consent.

‎>

‎> For any medical student or doctor reading this: A patient is not a teaching specimen. Before you use someone's body to teach, please take consent. Before you use shaming words like "na-mard", remember that a 21-year-old is listening and his whole life feels shattered.

‎>

‎> We need to talk about medical privacy, consent for teaching, and respectful language. Manhood is not defined by testicles. It is defined by hormones, treatment, and humanity. I request all hospitals to please counsel such sensitive cases in private.

‎>

‎> This is not to defame anyone, but to ensure the next 21-year-old does not feel humiliated like I did.

Discussion This is the state of Pakistan’s courts and the justice system.

In August, the Supreme Court ordered that Imran Khan be shifted to Al-Shifa Hospital, but the government did not comply with the court’s order. The court could have taken action over this blatant disregard for its authority, but as you can see, the Supreme Court has still not taken any action.

After seeing all this, who would want to invest in Pakistan?

All three of Imran Khan’s sisters were detained under Section 3 of the MPO for 30 days and imprisoned without committing any crime. Their 30-day detention period has now ended, but they have still not been released.

[Long Post] Beware of This regular scammer Selling Berserk Merchandise

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

Before ordering, I specifically asked him whether the bag would fit a laptop. He sent me a video showing the bag with a laptop being placed in it, I placed my order of a shirt and bag based on the information he provided. Lo and behold

  1. The agreed price was Rs. 6,500. The seller asked me to pay Rs. 900 in advance, which I paid.

  2. The product I received was completely different from what I expected. The bag did not match the one shown in the video, its quality was very poor, and it was too small to fit my laptop. The shirt's quality was also disappointing and very cheap.

  3. The payment amount was different from what we had agreed. When I received the parcel at the post office, the amount written on it was Rs. 6,100. Since I had already paid Rs. 900 in advance, the remaining amount should have been Rs. 5,600 if our agreed total of Rs. 6,500 had been honoured. Instead, I was required to pay Rs. 6,100, bringing my total payment to Rs. 7,000. I couldn't return the parcel coz i had paid 900 already.

  4. I could not resolve the issue with the seller. I contacted him while receiving the parcel, he saw the texts but he did not respond for around 6 hours.

  5. When he eventually replied on WhatsApp after i told him on insta that I'm gonna expose him, he claimed that the parcel charges had increased because of its weight. He said he had paid Rs. 1,500 for shipping( that is a lie as pakistan post doesn't charger this much for 2kg). Regardless of the reason for the increase, he had not informed me beforehand or given me the option to cancel the order, even though we had already agreed on a final price.

  6. He promised to return the money but did not follow through. After I explained the problem, he asked for my number and said he would send the refund when he was free. Instead of resolving the matter, I subsequently discovered that I had been blocked on both Instagram and WhatsApp.

What makes this even more concerning is that I found another person commenting “Scammer” on his Facebook page. I contacted him, and he shared screenshots showing a similar experience: he had agreed to buy a shirt for Rs. 1,500 but was charged Rs. 2,500 when the parcel arrived.

This appears to be a repeated pattern, not just an isolated bad experience. Both of us have evidence of what happened.

Ask Pakistan Rickshaw driver jumped into a canal 😞😭

A rickshaw driver jumped into a canal after being issued a 2,000-rupee fine!

Ms. Maryam Nawaz!

What kind of policies are your people making in Assembly. You have to change these kind of thinking that your nation is rich... You are not in Dubai or in Europe.. in a country like Pakistan where most of the population is poor but rules and regulations are like Rich country...

Politician didn't think about the poor people... Politician have to Keep this in mind: people might not give a chance to escape. It is the height of cruelty that a poor laborer, who barely earns 1,700 to 1,800 rupees in an entire day, is slapped with a 2,000-rupee fine for his rickshaw—and that’s not even counting the 400 rupees spent on fuel! In the Sambrial area of ​​Sialkot, a man jumped into a canal after his rickshaw was issued a 2,000-rupee fine. Ms. Maryam Nawaz! Do the poor have no right to live?

Edit 1.0: People thinking I'm supporting a rickshaw driver... I'm not...

Traffic police stance: I talk to them also see the application which they are using...

1) Daily Target =50,000/- each 2star officer

2) Cash deposit not in the form of (have to pay later)

3) If they don't achieve the target they get punishment (Have to stand for 3 to 4 hours in sun).

4) Day and night shift (not to control traffic just to impose fine).

Many other things which can't be discussed openly.

How we can improve Traffic in Pakistan.

1) Through Education. Before delivering new / transferring the vehicle.. every document have to be checked.

2) Government make driving School to educate people.

3) in school one lecture (How to make Pakistan more perfect)

4) Three warnings before big fine.

Many other....

Edit 2.0: Some people think that I'm supporting Rickshaw driver or those drivers who drive carelessly.

Actually ,I'm not supporting any bad act happening on road. My point was government have to impose the fine according to car + the person who is using it... I will share a video in comments. Which show the actual problem... The poor people have no money to pay bills. How can they pay 2000 fine. Plus Fine is same for Rich & poor...

Social Had a Weird Experience at Al Fatah Hussain Chowk Today

6 Upvotes

I went to Al Fatah at Hussain Chowk today, and honestly, the experience felt really weird. I usually shop there, so I am familiar with the place. However, today I needed a serum and lip balm urgently, so I decided to stop by. The only difference was that I was dressed very casually. My clothes were unironed and messy, my hair was oiled, and I had no makeup on. Normally, when I visit after university, I am well dressed, with nice makeup and open, straight hair.

This time, though, I noticed a very different attitude from the staff. Their body language and the way they looked at me made me feel as if I did not belong there. I was there for around 20 minutes, and barely anyone bothered to approach me or offer any help. I ended up walking around the aisles and looking for the products myself. To be clear, I do not mind shopping independently at all. I actually prefer browsing on my own sometimes. It was the overall attitude and those weird looks that made the experience uncomfortable. I cannot say for sure whether my appearance was the reason, but the difference was noticeable enough to leave me wondering.

Discussion Is my house haunted?

13 Upvotes

I rented this house in dha lhr about a week ago, and since moving in, I’ve been noticing a very strange smell inside the house. It smells like vomit mixed with rotten milk, but the weirdest part is that it seems to move from one corner of the house to another.I’ll suddenly notice it in one spot, where it lasts for only a few seconds before disappearing, and then I’ll smell the exact same thing somewhere else a little later. It never seems to stay in one place, almost as if the smell is moving around the house. My friends have also noticed it, so it’s not just me. I have no idea what’s causing it, and since I’ve only been living here for a week, I’m starting to wonder if there’s something unusual going on with the property. Any idea what is it?

Political We are now a one-party state.

50 Upvotes

I didn't want to be the one to say it but it's kinda official, since Musharaf was booted out of office and multi party elections were allowed, this is now the FIRST time that we are technically running on a one-party structure.

I mean hear me out, since 2007 to 2026 ish. This is now the first time we have no notion of an opposition party. PTI IS GONE IN ALL BUT NAME. Their workers are arrested, their governments toppled, Cm kpk is a missing person along with speaker assembly and much of his cabinet. Imran khan and his elite are locked up for years of frivolous charges.

One could argue it started somewhere in 2024, but even then the opposition had some power, now there is simply no opposition. Ppp and pmlun act like one in the house or legislations. They pretend to be different but are the same.

One could again argue that Pakistan has been a one-party state since it's inception, but there was always some form of opposition, now it's just really bad.

I look at how bad things are and question myself, what was all this even for? No Pakistani ever wanted this. We just watched them take away everything.

Idk what's next in store for Pakistan,but it ain pretty.

National Pakistani gamers, do you enjoy strategy games? Would you play a 3v3 team-based strategy game with your friends?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm an indie game developer and I'm curious about the gaming community in Pakistan.

A few questions for Pakistani gamers:

  1. Are strategy games, auto battlers, or tower defense games popular among Pakistani gamers?
  2. Do you prefer competitive team-based games or solo games?
  3. Would you be interested in playing a 3v3 strategy game with two of your friends?
  4. Is mobile gaming or PC gaming more popular among your friends?

I'm genuinely interested in hearing your opinions, even if strategy games aren't your thing!

We're a small independent team, and your feedback would mean a lot to us.

Thanks, everyone!

Ask Pakistan Seeking Advice on Leaving an Abusive Marriage in Pakistan With Two Young Daughters

8 Upvotes

Salaam everyone,

I’m a married woman living in Pakistan with my two young daughters. A few years ago I left my family and married someone I loved believing we would build a peaceful life together. Unfortunately, that decision turned into something very different from what I hoped for.
My husband has been emotionally and physically abusive for years and he also struggles with alcoholism. For a long time I stayed silent and tolerated everything, hoping things would change and trying to protect my daughters from seeing the worst of it.
But recently his violence has started affecting them too and that was the moment I realized I cannot keep living like this.
The problem is that I feel completely trapped. To shift to a separate place I would need around 50–60k PKR for advance rent and basic moving costs and I simply cannot arrange that amount. I have no savings left and no belongings that I can sell to gather the money. Because of this, I feel like I have nowhere to go.
The situation at home is getting worse day by day and I’m genuinely scared for my daughters’ safety.
If anyone knows about women’s shelters, organizations in Pakistan that help women leave abusive marriages or any safe place where a mother with two daughters could temporarily stay, please guide me. Even connecting me with the right organization or person who helps in such cases would mean a lot.
Any advice, guidance or information about organizations that support women in situations like this would mean a lot to me.
Please keep me and my daughters in your prayers.

Ask Pakistan Storage spaces in pakistan.

Hello everyone. I have been looking for warehouses or storage spaces in Pakistan for personal use. We are in between countries right now and it is becoming an increasing hassle to leave personal effects at home and have someone stay there just for security.

If anyone has any knowledge how I can go about this, I would be very greatly. I have even looked into godowns but they are mostly for commercial purposes and too big in size. We don’t want to inconvenience our relatives by asking them to hang on to our belongings for an indefinite period.

Please help. Jazakallah.

Discussion teaching e commerce

• Upvotes

hi guys, recently on some post i left a comment about ecom and that i learned that skill in one month and now im earning from ebay and tiktokshop and if anyone wanna learn i can teach them basics for free. i have been getting a lot of dms, people asking me to teach them, the issue is i can't teach everyone individually.but we can arrange zoom or google meet classes. i know the job market is so bad, I've spent two shit years after graduation finding a good job until my uncle who lives in london suggested i should learn e commerce. guys i know this all sounds so good but i wanna clear some things first, for ebay and tiktokshop you need a client or multiple clients that has seller account and are ready is invest because you are gonna work as a VA. Although you can find clients on Facebook and LinkedIn but you need to find someone with whom u can have mutual respect and trust. if you guys have friends or family relatives in any country like canada, Australia, uk, usa, u can ask them for their account . i don't wanna sugarcoat anything. i was lucky i got clients but if anyone of you wanna learn you really need to work hard. nothing comes so easy. im ready to teach if anyone's interested. what do u guys suggest, how should i teach ?? btw it will be completely free of charge.
