News Desk 

Islamabad: Sannia Ashfaq, former spouse of Pakistani all-rounder Imad Wasim, has publicly responded to the recent divorce filing that ended their six-year marriage, shedding light on the personal and societal challenges faced by women in similar situations.

In an emotional statement, Sannia spoke about the difficulties she has endured as a mother of three, including caring for a five-month-old infant who has yet to be held by his father. She revealed that despite her efforts to sustain the marriage, interference from a third party contributed to the breakdown of their relationship.

Sannia described facing emotional distress, mistreatment, and abandonment but said she remained patient for the sake of her children and the dignity of her home. She stressed that the divorce is legally contested and vowed to pursue the matter through proper channels, warning against attempts to intimidate her.

“I am not seeking revenge. I am seeking truth and justice—for myself, my children, and other women who may be suffering in silence,” she said, highlighting the broader struggles of women who endure marital hardships under public scrutiny.

Imad Wasim, meanwhile, had requested privacy during this period, urging fans and media not to share old photos of the couple and clarifying that Sannia should no longer be referred to as his spouse. He emphasised his ongoing responsibilities as a father.

On the cricketing front, Imad retired from international cricket in December 2024 after representing Pakistan in 55 ODIs and 75 T20Is, taking 44 ODI wickets and 73 T20I wickets while contributing significantly with the bat. He is currently participating in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) season 12.

Experts on social dynamics note that Sannia’s statement reflects a growing trend of women speaking openly about personal hardships, particularly when navigating life under the media spotlight, signaling a broader conversation about privacy, respect, and parental responsibility in Pakistan’s public sphere.
