“Marriage Is a Waste of Time” — Singer QB’s Bold Statement Sparks Debate Online
The acclaimed artist, known for her soulful voice and hit songs, made the statement during a recent appearance on the Black Box Sounds Pakistan podcast.
Responding to a question about her views on marriage, QB said, “In my opinion, marriage is a waste of time.” She further added that research suggests men tend to benefit more from marriage than women, and claimed that women are generally less happy in marriages compared to men.
Quratulain Balouch rose to international fame with the title track of the hit drama Humsafar and has since delivered several popular songs including “Man Mayal,” “Saiyaan,” “Thugyan,” and “Faasle.”
Her statement has triggered mixed reactions online. While many social media users, particularly younger audiences, supported her perspective and called marriage an outdated or stressful institution, others—especially married individuals and those with traditional or religious views—criticized her remarks as controversial and misleading.
The debate continues to trend, highlighting changing attitudes toward relationships and marriage in modern society.
