Popular Pakistani influencer and clinical psychologist, Dr Nabiha Ali Khan, has sparked debate on social media after sharing her straightforward views on second marriages in a podcast with Iqrar-ul-Hassan’s third wife, Aroosa Khan.
Dr Nabiha on second marriage
During the podcast, when questioned about the topic of second marriage, Dr Nabiha took a clear stance.
She said that if her husband decides to remarry but does not intend to leave me, ‘then I will end the relationship myself.’
She further added that if a man goes to another woman, it means that he has failed to understand his first wife.
Dr Nabiha added that anyone who says ‘I have not found love’ is lying.
Personal choice
Discussing the topic further, Dr Nabiha said that she is a very sensitive person in her relationships.
She added that she has made it clear that she does not accept such things.
It is permissible in Islam, so religiously she does not object, she added, ‘but personally, I will decide to end the relationship.’
Dr Nabiha also emphasised the personal choice of women. She said that it is a woman’s own choice whether she can tolerate her husband’s second marriage or not.
‘I cannot do it myself,’ she said. Adding that she has already made it clear to her husband and in-laws that, ‘despite everything, if a man looks outside, what is the point of a woman staying with him?’
‘A man’s relationship is best with one woman, not with multiple women,’ she added.
She further commented on the common situation in men’s second marriages, saying that if a man can really do justice, he can remarry.
However, in most second marriages, men forget their first wives, make them feel inferior, and say that they never loved each other before. If this were true, then how did the first marriage survive?
Dr Nabiha’s first marriage ended many years ago due to the death of her husband. In November 2025, she remarried her friend and colleague Haris Khokhar.
Aroosa Khan is a journalist and YouTuber who is also the third wife of a renowned Pakistani journalist, Iqrar Ul Hassan.
