As Zeba(Sanam Saeed) becomes the first in the family to divorce, the stigma chases her in the form of her mother(Munazzah Airf) as she grieves the incident. However, Subok (Ashir Wajahat) makes the point that it might be the first but not the last, as no woman in the future will remain in an unhappy marriage but will rather choose to separate, using Zeba’s example.
Subok adds that his mother is setting the precedent that the coming generations will not be pushed to stay in toxic marriages; they will not be expected to stay married even if it pushes them to death. With Zeba comes an end to the expectation that a woman may only return to her home in a coffin. He adds that with his mother, the women of this family will be allowed to live rather than remain in lifeless marriages.
On the other hand, Zeba’s daughters join in to celebrate their mother’s moment of freedom; they host a breakfast with the best they can. They cherish the moment the shackles of marriage are off their mother, and she can finally learn to live. The soft-hearted moment is enjoyed with the hope of only happiness in the future.
Kafeel viewers celebrate Zeba’s ultimate liberty and also understand how family members like Zeba’s mother push them into stress and depression. Dissecting the scene, a user posted and said:
