Islamabad: - Pakistani-origin boxer Amir KhanAmir Khan's wife says she will not be silenced over claims she is being 'bullied' by her husband's family, insisting the boxing champion is standing by her and that she represents the voice of 'every abused woman'.

Amid the details from Khan's family, Faryal has broken her silence again, claiming she wants to 'break stereotypes and reshape conversation' around the ill-treatment of women by their in-laws.
She also thanked her husband for his support in light of the bombshell claims. Khan has not spoken publicly about his wife's allegations but he is known to be very close to his family.
Posting on her Facebook page, she wrote: 'There are many women who suffer in silence due to ill treatment from the in-laws. This dark side is usually kept hidden.
'We need woman at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women's voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.
'I am every abused woman's voice and I am grateful for my husband's support throughout my ordeal.
