Veteran actress Asma Abbas shared her views on financially independent women, emphasising that single mothers do not need to remarry if they are able to support themselves and their children.

Asma posted a YouTube video, saying that divorced or widowed women do not necessarily have to remarry. "If a woman is independent, has money, then she does not need to get remarried especially if she has children. She is not confined to getting married again," the actress said. She added, "I think it would be better if you already have financial independence and do not require another person’s support."

Further, the actress stressed the importance of education and financial independence, noting, "If you have a good education and job, you do not need anyone else or need to be afraid. You can support your kids on your own."

Although some fans agreed with Asma's views, others disagreed, arguing that every woman's circumstances are different and that marriage is not solely about financial stability but can also provide emotional companionship and support.
