Renowned Pakistani fashion designer Maria B has publicly addressed and dismissed rumors that she was served with a legal notice following her activism against LGBTQ activities. The designer has been a prominent figure in speaking out against the community for the past few years, recently gaining attention for exposing a specific event in Lahore. This action led to widespread speculation about legal repercussions and the removal of her related video by Instagram.
In a strong rebuttal to the rumors, Maria B questioned her critics’ assumptions, stating, “What did you think—that I would have been scared?” She clarified that she has not received any legal notice and expressed her resolve to continue speaking on the issue. She grounded her stance in religious principles, asserting that her arguments are derived from the Quran and Sunnah and noting that the Transgender Act has been declared un-Islamic by the Sharia Court.
The designer directly challenged her opponents, urging “desi liberals” to stop celebrating prematurely as no legal action has been taken. She pledged to persist in raising her voice for what she describes as “the protection of Pakistani parents and our children,” adding that she is prepared to speak directly to authorities if necessary.
Maria B’s firm stance has resonated strongly with a segment of social media users, who are widely praising her courage and efforts to expose the LGBTQ community. Her position has garnered support from influential figures, solidifying her role not just as a fashion entrepreneur but as a significant voice on conservative social issues in Pakistan. The public discourse continues to highlight the deep cultural and religious divisions surrounding this topic.
