You will grow old with your husband because in God you have married right. If mine did not work, yours will work, for I have paid that sacrifice for yours to work,\u201d she said amid tears and cheers from guests.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">She urged fellow mothers not to be swayed by public judgment but to support their children unconditionally, even in the face of intense scrutiny.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI will never deprive my children of their blessings, no matter the situation.
