Talking about marriage, Ismat Zaidi said, "I got married at 19. My life was going well—yes, there were adjustment problems—but it went smoothly until I was 23, after which my husband opted for a second marriage. At that time, everything fell apart. I regained my strength because of my children, who were in their teens. I was somewhat prepared for his second marriage, but I didn’t expect him to leave us for the second woman. But it did happen. I tried not to react, but that became my weakness. It was my decision to be strong and after which people thought that I am heartless but only Allah knows."
