Feroze Khan’s second wife, Dr. Zainab, has spoken out against the harmful belief that abuse in a marriage is an expression of love. Her message, shared through Instagram, highlights the urgent need to dismantle dangerous narratives that normalize violence against women.
Dr. Zainab revealed that she was deeply disturbed after her sister-in-law forwarded her viral videos from social media. In these clips, a doctor could be seen suggesting that a husband hitting or insulting his wife reflects love and that women should sacrifice their self-respect to keep their marriage intact.
Strongly rejecting these claims, Dr. Zainab called them “harmful, completely wrong, and dangerous.” She emphasized that such views not only misrepresent the essence of love but also risk legitimizing abuse and fueling violence in society.
“Violence and abuse are never signs of love. Real love is shown through respect, care, and kindness, not through control, fear, or humiliation,” she wrote.
