I was just wondering if most models are single in Pakistan? I’ve read articles (Aminah Haq) about not being in any hurry to marry. But I was wondering if there are any married models and if there is pressure to discontinue their profession once married? Isn’t Natasha married and has a daughter?Does anyone have info on other married models?

Well saimanyc
to answer your first question yes most of the models are single both men and women. top models like Iraj, vaneeza ahmad, ZQ, Amna haq, Amna shafaat etc all are single.
There are few married models and there have also been in the past but they are very few in numbers.
Natasha Hussain is probably the only top model at present who is married, before here i remeber there use to be Seemi Pasha who was married (as i recall she was a catwalk model till her 40s because she maintained herself physically) i remember her one interview on TV sometimes back that she has two sons both in their 20s. She also did some acting on TV too, i am not sure if she still does that or not.
Than there is Mahnoor Baloch who is also a actress cum model she is also married and i think she is mother of two or three.
Almost all models discontinue after their marriage mainly becasue modelling in Pakistan is a hobbie not a profession mainly because fashion industry is not a very big one. All of the models belong to rich families here you wont find one "rag to riches" type models like you would find in the USA or Europe.
Hope this info helps answer your questions
SP
Mahnoor is a mom of 4 kids.
It is a fact that many models and actresses leave their profession after their marriage, as a sign or proof to their husband that they are shareef.
Supposedly Aamna Haq was supposed to get married - I don't know what happened with that, but I think it all fell out, although I don't know if she actually did marry the guy.
There's a model - name starts with R...forgot - shes married with kids.

Here’s a quote from an article in www.hipakistan.com:_ _
Marriage is the least of my worries right now. I believe strongly in God and will marry when He wishes me to. Right now I have many other things to do…" says Zainab Qayyum better known as ZQ in the fashion industry while commenting on her future plans.
I’ll find info on Aminah Haq about her engagement just suddenly dissolving. I heard that he broke it off and she was very hurt. She apparently rebounded into the arms of another guy, but who knows if that is true. This quote is from another article found here.http://www.megaeast.com/?section=Fashion&page=amnah.con
Now, almost nine months after her engagement broke off, there is talk of her being involved with a man quite some years younger than her. Does the age difference bother her? “Not at all, age is just a number,” she answers, and again requests no further questions in this direction. Forthright she might be, but not about everything. Having worked in media herself, she knows how to control her own exposure.
Iffat umer is married with one son i dont know if she is still in modeling field, saw some pix of her recently
Hey, to each his own. If they want to prolong their marriage due to their (modeling) careers, all the best. If they want to settle down early, all the best in this case too. Everyone is different and I respect each person’s position on when they want to/or feel ready to get married, therefore, there really is no right or wrong answer. If anything, in my opinion, I think it’s great that they’re settling into their careers (or in this case, getting their careers out of the way) before taking a serious step like marriage because unlike other professions, the modeling profession is very dependent on age and models have a limited window to accomplish their goals before making other major life decisions.
Here’s info on Mahnoor found in this article: Yahoo | Mail, Weather, Search, Politics, News, Finance, Sports & Videos
“Mahnoor tied the knot at the tender age of sixteen. She and her husband were both head over heels in love and were married with their parents’ consent.”

Nice pic Thanx for sharing :)
Amina Haq was engaged to Ali Azmat (junoon band guy) but they broke up.............
Here's a quote from an interview with Aminah Haq:
"Perfect man I think we all grow out of the ideal man phase. I like strong people- somebody who's not afraid of being a man. But I am not looking for my ideal man. You can't find the perfect man in an imperfect world."
Well unfortunately she has the additional bagagge of being a child of divorce and having Mustafa Khar as her father!! I could imagine her having issues and very cold feet about marriage.

As far as being the child of a divorce is concerened she is not the first one, there are millions like her.
While Mustafa Khar doesnt even like to mention her as his daughter. On her side she also mentioned once in her ineterview that she has no feelings for the man coz she has never seen him as her father.
Right SP I read the same info in an article. But I think if someone has experienced divorce then most often they feel that they don't want that to happen to their marriage. That can add extra stress in relationships because you want so much for it to be 'the one' and last forever. You have the memory of the pain you felt and your parents felt as a result of the failure of marriage. Also Aminah didn't know her dad herself. But she knows from her mothers life what Khar is all about.
I think young women need a male role-model for their image of what a man is. Psychologists say that a girls father is often an image she projects on the man she looks for in marriage. I'm not saying that Aminah Haq is set up for disaster because of an unstable background. But she has obstacles and I'm sure she's not so naive.

Well what you have said is correct but there is one more thing i think we are ignoring. If we look at the Pakistani Fashion scene most of the top models are over 25 years old. In Pakistani society normally a girl is married mostly between 23-25 years of age, so by that standard almost all of these girls are past their prime regarding the marriage age.
Zainab Qayyum is about 26 years old, Amna Shafaat is also up or around 25, i also know Iraj Manzoor has turned 30 (i know for sure coz she was in college with my sister) and vaneeza is no baby either ..... from looking at this it seems like that it has become a sort of trend for models to marry late.
About Aminah Haq's situation i doubt that the case would be the one which you have put forward, because she is not a girl sitting home with no idea of the outside world, she has a graet career and lots of exposure to the outside world(much more than many men even double her age) ..... i guess maybe till now she just hasnt found the right person to tie the knot with or maybe she isnt ready to quit her career and get married yet.
human mind is a very complicated piece of equipment and the psychologists themselves havent been able to understand is completely so no one can say what is in her mind
:k: nice picture..thx for sharing
