Unequal rules of divorce

Model, actor, and reality show host Malaika Arora has criticised society’s double standards around divorce and remarriage. Addressing society’s bias against women, she said, “Today, if a man decides to move on — get a divorce, marry someone half his age — it’s like, ‘Wow, what a man!’ But when a woman does it, she is questioned. [People say], ‘Why would she do something like that? Doesn’t she have sense?’” She highlighted that men are often congratulated for such decisions, while women face harsh judgment. Malaika and Arbaaz Khan, who had tied the knot in 2002, divorced in 2017. The two have a 23-year-old son Arhaan. Arbaaz is now married to Sshura Khan and recently embraced parenthood again as the couple welcomed baby girl Sipaara.
