why did Benazir Bhutto marry Asif Ali Zardari?

[r3alist]

Agree with all your points firefighter, well said.

This thread can actually help explain how politics, religion, culture, feudalism, power and greed all blend together to make Pakistan what it is.

Because Mr.10% looked like a gundda and Mrs. Bhutto loved the look

It's hardly disrespectful to ask such questions, by this standard we could never question any event in history - because it could be disrespectful.

It is said that you only question someone decisions if it impacts on an international event. Do you honestly think that marrying anyone else would have made any difference to how things turned out. One of the Mukhdooms were also a suiter for her. Whosoever would have married her would have ended on the political scene. The reason to leave her alone is a simple one. Courtesy demands that you DISCUSS individuals only if they are there to defend themselves.This was a personal decision and had little or no bearing ON NATIONAL EVENTS.

What does this interview tells us about BB's political aspirations, at the time of Zia's death?

It also reflects well on her ideology about politics!

Biggest mistake she made was marrying that corrupt SOB!

It ultimately cost her first her family, then her political career, in the end her life.

Benazir was out of her mind to marry an illiterate like Zardari.

What more can i say!

And then make children with him on top of that. We were talking about this the other day in the house that what made this highly educated, beautiful woman marry this mule.

That's very untrue. If the man she had married stayed away from the National politics I would agree and it would indeed be her personal life that needn't be discussed in public. Note, how we are not discussing her college friends etc, that's her personally life. But the man she married ended up changing the course of Pakistan's history by heading one of the biggest political party in the country. That gives us every right to question late BB's decision to marry this person.

Hi

Please don't try to hijack this thread to start an anti-Zardari or anti-PPP discussion. Thanks.

I have often wondered that what made Bhutto family to go into a relationship with Zardari family by the marriage of Benazir Bhutto and Asif Zardari. Zardari family wasn't that much rich as compared to the Bhutto. Besides there was no match between B. Bhutto and A. Zardari - they were completely two different persons. What were the primary reasons which made the marriage possible? Please let me know your opinion. Thanks a lot.

Butto Family is a tycoon of corruption and insanity..no rationale person would want to get involved in a hyper-aggressive psychopath family obsessed with their glory days of junagardh...So obsessed was Bhutto with his past that he could have dissolved entire Pakistan so he could retain the entire sindh for himself and be throned in classic junagarh fashion..

It also exposes the social status of bhutto's..no respectable person stepped forward for Benazir..

Biggest mistake she made was marrying that corrupt SOB!

Biggest mistake we did was importing Shahnawaz bhutto the clerk of junagarh royal family and giving them an eternal seat of power in national politics..

This used to be a mystery for me for a long time ...

Did anything else about Bhutto made sense?

Inciting 1967 war.?
Rejecting Mujeeb democratic mandate?
National theft in the name of Islamic socialism?
Destruction of local industries and economy?
Mismanagement and corruption in two tenures of BB?
Running of terrorist organization aided and abetted by Iraq and Syria?

Whole Bhutto family is criminal psychopaths!

OK, I will answer this question because of some inside info.

Benazir had a lot of marriage proposals from known families in and out of Pakistan, but all of them wanted her to remain away from politics.

One of the Raja's or nawabs (I forget who exactly) wanted Benazir as his daughter in law, but they did not want her participating in politics at all.

Benazir was adamant that she leads PPP against Gen. Zia and Hakim Zardari was for her participation in politics.

Being a friend of Nusrat Bhutto, Hakim Zardari put forward the proposal and it was accepted though Benazir was reluctant initially.

However, what had to happen, happened.

Faisal Saleh Hayat also proposed. Benazir wanted to marry him, but FSH's father wanted her to remain away from politics. This was not acceptable by BB. One factor in her assassination was her decision to part ways with Zardari. She was planning on a divorce, in fact she was also preparing for another marriage after going through divorce.

3. Benazir was perhaps even more ambitious than her dad. She understood she had to marry to be accepted politically. And she had to marry a Sindi and a Shia. Also someone of inferior lineage who could not protest her dominance.

Correct. But unfortunately she had been attending national assembly session with bruises on eyes and face.

Well, I'm just talking about BB's decision to marry Asif Ali Zardari and nothing else..
Why are you dragging Bhutto in this discussion to satisfy your political sentiments against him.

I see a hell of a difference between the approaches of father and the daughter; the former was an honest, nationalist and a socialist who did not compromise on his principles while the latter has a lot of corruption charges against her, was a traitor ( she contacted India for help multiple times), manipulative and compromised on all principles and a capitalist...so they have nothing in common despite being biologically related.

So kindly keep ZAB out of your rants and do not derail the thread by going off topic

But Bhutto was positive Chorr, He done everything for the betterment of Pakistan but not for his pocket, to get Pakistan nuclear state, Missile state.....etc While Zardari was negative Chorr/thief because he was interested to fill his pocket.

What sort of delusional belief one should have to say bhutto did something good for the country?
Reduced the country in half, destroyed economy, exported talent overseas...we are still left to suffer his ills of socialism..and Pakistani economy and industry never recovered and to date..many Pakistani institutions like railways and national airline are laughing stock..

6. Benazir needed a husband of the specs in para 3; never mind that she was too sophisticated for a rustic Asif Ali. But Hakim had great things to hope from his son and eventually grand-son.

She was a typical desi woman and if anyone thought anything coming good out of her, it was a fools dream...!
Her path to election was largely fueled by hyper emotional sentiments of Bhutto...and less of her own credibility..
