Rabb Se Hai Dua 28th October 2024 Written Update
Dua is locked inside the suitcase while Kashaf attempts to drag it. Hamida approaches her and asks if she needs assistance. “I’ll call Armaan,” she says before leaving, allowing Kashaf to pull the suitcase to Dua’s room. Gazal is present and insists they must take care of her. Kashaf administers an injection to Dua, causing her to faint again. They pull her out of the suitcase just as they hear Hamida approaching, prompting Gazal to hide. Kashaf pretends to tend to Dua. Hamida rushes in, asking what happened. Kashaf replies, “I found her unconscious here.” Hamida quickly brings Dua to the bed and instructs Kashaf to call a doctor. “Don’t worry, I’ll check her,” Kashaf assures, checking her pulse with a worried expression.
The judge asks Ibadat if she wants to say anything regarding Mannat’s accusations. Ibadat responds that if Mannat claims she is characterless and has an affair with Armaan, and if her husband believes it, she has nothing to defend. “I am characterless, and Armaan might be my boyfriend. If I deny this allegation, Mannat might involve my brother Sufi, so I accept that I am characterless and have many affairs. I married Subhan due to physical attraction.” Subhan’s lawyer states that the case is evident: this girl is completely shameless and characterless, suggesting she used Subhan for her desires. Subhan interjects angrily, shouting, “Enough! Don’t say another word.” He grabs the lawyer, saying, “I hired you to get me divorced, not for this.” Ibadat tells Subhan not to be angry at the lawyer, explaining that he is simply repeating what Mannat told him. She insists she is characterless and uses men, spending nights with various partners. Subhan is taken aback by her words.
Ibadat addresses the judge, stating she is not a silent victim. “The girl standing before you can speak for herself, yet men remain unchanged. To defeat a virtuous woman, they attack her character, a practice that has persisted for ages. Women are raped in wars as if they belong to men. We still live in those dark times. If my husband thinks belittling my character will lead to my defeat, he is mistaken. Men can tarnish a woman’s reputation to evade consequences, capable of raping and murdering while blaming the woman’s character.” She turns to Subhan, asserting that he is the same type of man. “Women share responsibility in this. Mannat easily questions my character without considering how it can be done to her as well. If a husband is unfaithful, how can a wife endure it? Doesn’t she have the right to stop him? If I am guilty, I accept all allegations and plead guilty. If the accusations are false, Mannat should face consequences. I am certain Subhan has been manipulated into agreeing with these claims, but I cannot remain silent today. Even if he realizes his mistake later, how could I ever accept him? If he can’t protect my honor in court, what future can we have? What kind of values will he instill in our children? If he agrees with Mannat, he ceases to be human. I would willingly sign the divorce papers; I cannot compromise my honor for love. I refuse to be in a relationship where my dignity is disregarded, where he cannot stand up for me. Such a relationship is a sin, and I want to be free from it.” The judge praises her and says they need proof. He asks Subhan to clarify if Mannat is right or if Ibadat is innocent. Mannat urges Subhan to confirm that Ibadat is having an affair with Armaan, pleading, “Just tell them the truth.” Subhan glares at Ibadat and seems ready to speak, but the time expires. The judge announces they will resume tomorrow. Mannat thinks she will be divorced the next day. Ibadat wipes her tears and exits, while Subhan shoots Mannat a furious look before leaving.
Ibadat discovers missed calls from Hamida and returns the call. Hamida, in tears, tells her that Dua is not well. Subhan overhears this exchange.
