While many have applauded the woman for her courage and resilience in breaking free from a potentially toxic relationship, the celebratory nature of the party has also drawn criticism from a significant section of the online community, particularly in Pakistan.

One viewer says, ‘Divorce should not be celebrated at all. Yes, it frees you from a toxic relationship. Yes, it liberates you from a narcissist. Yes, it is good for your mental health. Yes, you can heal from the trauma.
If we start celebrating the divorce, people will be afraid to get married. Number of proud single mothers is already on the rise. Absent father for children is trauma.’

Another user says, ‘Girl am over here crying happy tears for you. Everything life has to offer is yours…. Keep shining hard, you deserve this.’

However, the negative reactions to the video highlight the deep-rooted patriarchal attitudes that still prevail in certain sections of society. The woman has been subjected to online harassment and hate comments, underscoring the challenges faced by women who dare to defy societal expectations.

As the viral video continues to make waves, it has become a powerful symbol of both progress and the work that still needs to be done to achieve gender equality.
