Earlier on her TikTok account, Sania Khan shared, “going through a divorce as a South Asian Woman feels like you failed at life sometimes. The way the community labels you, the lack of emotional support you receive, and the pressure to stay with someone because ‘what will people say’ is isolating. It makes it harder for women to leave [a] marriage that they shouldn’t have been in, to begin with”.
“It’s painful to walk away from someone you once loved. But it’s even more painful to love someone who is careless with your heart.”
