Parents should prepare boys for marriage: Gohar Rasheed

Actor thinks marriage lessons should be part of everyone’s upbringing

Gohar Rasheed has some advice for parents as they raise their kids. The actor recently appeared in an episode of YouTube series, Gup Shup with Fuchsia and raised an important point about how marriage lessons should be an important part of kids, particularly boys’ upbringing. 

“To all the parents,” he said, “The way you prepare kids for life, jobs and education, you should also prepare boys about the requirements and responsibilities of a marriage.” 

Gohar thinks that kids are often prepared on how to act around adults, how to talk to your sister, and how to offer your seat to a girl. However, marriage teachings are missing when it comes to how we normally raise children and boys in particular.
 
“If you notice, nobody prepares us for what marriage is,” he said. “You just sign a nikkah and it is assumed that your duty is done. A million things change after marriage. I changed so much after marriage, I’m sure Kubra changed. If a person is being attached to your life, it should be discussed what their pre-requisites are.”

The actor himself officially announced his Nikkah with Kubra Khan back in February. 

Their announcement, shared via a joint post on Instagram featured photos taken in front of the Holy Kaaba at the Grand Mosque after they had performed Umrah. “Under the Kursi of Allah, 70 thousand angels as witnesses and Rehmat pouring down on us like rain, Qubool hai,” the couple shared.

With Gohar’s new found wisdom after tying the knot himself, his words carry weight for all parents and youngsters out there.
