ISLAMABAD — The capital’s social fabric is shredding at a terrifying, unprecedented pace. In a heartbreaking crisis reported by 24NewsHD TV channel, an apocalyptic surge in divorces is tearing families apart, leaving a trail of shattered homes and devastated children.
The numbers are no longer just statistics—they are a cultural emergency:
-
The Hourly Massacre of Homes: A staggering 38 divorce cases are registered every single hour in the capital, fueling a massive 45,000 cases already filed this year alone.
-
The Daily Deluge: Courtrooms are drowning as 9,000 new divorces hit the desks every month—amounting to over 300 agonizing family disputes crashing into courts every single day.
-
The Catastrophic Trajectory: The collapse is accelerating wildly. From 85,000 cases in 2023, the number skyrocketed to 91,000 in 2024, exploding into a monstrous 100,000 divorces in 2025.
-
The Dead-on-Arrival Vows: Even as 30+ court marriages happen daily, the illusion quickly shatters. Over the last four years, dozens of couples couldn’t even survive 90 days, filing for divorce within a mere one to three months of saying “I do.”
The Toxic Culprits: Love, Drugs, and Despair Legal experts are pointing fingers at a harsh reality: the vast majority of these tragic splits stem from failed love marriages. When the initial romance fades, it is instantly suffocated by the brutal, modern plagues of rampant drug abuse and crushing unemployment.
A Divine Warning & A Call to Arms This is a spiritual disaster. In Islamic tradition, while permissible, divorce remains the most deeply disliked and hated permissible action in the sight of Almighty Allah.
We cannot afford to look away. This is an urgent, flashing red distress signal for the state and Islamic scholars alike. We desperately need immediate public education grounded in the Holy Quran, alongside mandatory relationship workshops and crisis training.
If we do not act now to teach mutual responsibility, the ultimate victims—our innocent children—will carry the scars of this societal collapse forever.
