Sadaf Kanwal’s View on Marriage and Feminism

Sadaf Kanwal claimed women are not oppressed. “They’re very strong, I think I am very strong, and I’m sure you are too,” she told the interviewer. “Our husbands are our culture. I have married, I have to pick up his shoes, I will iron his clothes, which I don’t do, I do very little, but I know where Sherry’s clothes are. But I know where each thing of Sherry’s is. And I should know when Sherry has to eat, and what he is eating, because I am his wife,” she said.


“Because I am a woman. Sherry doesn’t have to know [this] about me. He should know, but I should know more. I believe this, because I’ve grown up seeing this,” Kanwal added. “So I think this feminism that has arrived, these people are liberals. These days a lot of liberals have arrived. My thinking is that feminism [is] me taking care of a man, my husband and respecting him and doing whatever I can, whatever I have been taught.” People didn’t really understand what she meant by likening culture to husbands. Model Sadaf Kanwal’s latest ruminations on feminism and a woman’s role in a marriage have left the internet scratching its collective head. She said some strange things, the strangest being “our husbands are our culture” and people are rightfully puzzled.
