Mariyah Moten - Pakistan’s first ‘Miss Bikini’!
Mariyah Moten, a 22-year-old US-based Pakistani, is being billed as “Pakistan’s first Miss Bikini” after she topped the ‘Best in Media’ category at the Miss Bikini Universe pageant in China last week.
Having won the title at Beihai resort in southern China, wowing crowds there and alarming conservatives in Pakistan, Moten is currently in Mumbai for a “special interview” assignment with a major Indian newspaper chain.
The News International newspaper reported with the comment: “A few Pakistani women in the past have ventured to compete in beauty pageants but none has gone this far in terms of unsheltered territory.”
The Houston girl has “created a frenzy by participating in an international bikini contest and even landed a prize - even if not exactly for skin”, the newspaper said.
Mariyah represented Pakistan at the pageant. She received a trophy, plus cash in the ‘Best in Media’ section for being “the most photographed and interviewed girl in the entire pageant”.
Since the pageant, Mariyah has created a splash on television channels like Zee News as well as Khaleej Times, China Daily, Hangzhou Newspaper and various other newspapers in China and elsewhere.
Born and brought up in Karachi, Mariyah moved to the US with her family eight years ago, the newspaper said, quoting a report on the popular website DesPardes.com.
“It’s the first time that Pakistan is participating in the bikini pageant, as we’re an Islamic country,” Moten was quoted as excitedly telling China Daily.
“Now, there’s less reproach in Pakistan on women’s participation in such beauty contests,” she said. “All my family supports me and I’m excited to have the chance to participate in the event.”
She is studying hotel management at the University of Houston, Texas, where she did her high schooling.
Mariyah was among 47 other participants who paraded at the Great Hall of The People. The candidates, all aged between 18 and 25, paraded before the cameras representing their countries. India did not participate.
Mariyah was crowned Queen Pearl and received $5,000 in prize money. The second and third place earned the title Miss Pearl and received $3,000 and $2,000 respectively, according to the pageant’s organising committee.
This is the second award Mariyah has received in her pageant career after she was titled Miss Charity at the Miss Tourism Queen International pageant in July 2006.

She is one of those fucking whores who is not even shameful for defaming her own country just for the sake of few bucks. How can our Government can allow anyone to defame the Islamic republic of Pakistan. These shit girls should remain in the US or Canada or any European country and should not be engaged in any means with Islamic republic of Pakistan.

OK let’s see what happens now. actually we can’t acept her as Pakistani or Muslim at all even we don’t know is she really a Muslim, second thing is that she has gone to America she is an American not Pakistani. and only origin can’t make any sense. Pakistan government has stopped them in 2002 but actually Musharraf is not Muslim at all. there’s many stories behinde that’s why he is not stopping them otherwise the Majority of Pakistanis (even Masala wathchers) don’t like this way they are representing Pakistan.
Pakistan is consirvative country. and will remain. we have to get ride of these people.

This is really insane for a woman to be almost naked right before everyone. This is really a disgrace to woman’s grace, honour, dignity, personality and self respect. I am sorry but to be honest with, this girl has brought the dirtiest scar on Paksiatn and Muslim World.This is not liberalism rather its the complete odd of liberalism.
Parkash said,
September 7, 2006 @ 8:37 am
hahahahha Man she isnt Muslim……MOTEN is not a Muslim name……And let me tell you….NUDITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN ANY RELIGION…..not even in Christianity, not in Hinduism, not is Sikhism, not in Judaism……You see the NUNS of churches cover all their body except face with a BURQA type thing……
This all stuff comes from the SECULARISM……and the INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM slogan CLAIMED by AMERICA……(despite u all know that Bikini isnt American
).
…
However……Personal actions dont represent the whole nation or a religion….Believe me we r intensely opposed in India by RELIGIOUS leaders for the contemporary NUDITY in the movies…..
GOT MY POINT???

I think Pakistani Government should do something about this because Pakistan is an islamic state and islam does not allow any such acts which bring about disgrace to women’s life. Miss Moten should herself think about this (if she is a muslim)

The beauty pagent winner is banned from Pakistan, but Al’Quaida is welcomed. I’m glad the Paks have shown their colors, and those colors are very similar to our other enemies.

To all those who said she should not be doing this just because she is a muslim GIRL or from pakistan, what right do you have to be on such a website/blog in the very first place. If islam doesnt approve of nudity, it means one should neither expose nor see purposefully (watching a blog dedicated to sex scandals and drooling over girls and sh*gging cannot be termed as accidental by any means and here no one, even you who boasts of being so conservative, cares whether the video is of a pakistani or islamic). So grow up guys….!! face the truth….

So a girl in a bikini is a “disgrace” and a “curse” to Pakistan but terrorist-producing madrasas, ignorant fanatical imams, the hosting of many Islamic terrorist groups including al-Qaida, major nuke weapons proliferation (thanks, AQ Khan!) are not a disgrace to the so-called “Islamic Republic of Pakistan”.
One question: Why oh why did the foolish British ever partition India and let this pathetic abortion of a failed state ever come into existence?

Nudity is a Disgrace of a Woman. I wanna ask a question to those people who are in favour of it in the name of idividual freedom would that allow this open public nudity to their daughter, sister or mother? I thaning no genetlemen can allow this in his home or in socity. That why we called our self CIVILIZED. Its not a question of Pakistan. Its a concern of every civilized person to think upon it.

Listen folks, if you have a problem with how she looks…..dont look! You seem to know quite a bit of what she is wearing and what she looks like, and your eyes are sure glued to her. All she is doing is saying she is Paki….SO WHAT!!! And how is she defaming her country? Just because she is Paki. Listen, for all you that say she is a whore and defaming her country (Alan)…I will gladly have her here in America whe she has freedom. What kind of freedom do you have over there? Thought so. Also, stay over there….we dont need your attitude here, or want it. More for me to be happy about. And Mariyah, you look like a woman should and you exude beauty!

hi 2 every1. I too live in the west and am a pakistani like mariyah moten. I don’t personally agree with what miss morten is doin but I’m not going 2 slander her and call her nasty names simply coz it won’t help her change her ways. who from us is free from sin? no 1! if she has this 1 bad point in her then I’m sure she has 101 good qualities in her aswell. I’m not sure if miss moten is a muslim or not but regardless of what religion she follows she is a child of adam and huwa which makes her my sister so lets not bitch about her after all what good will it do? don’t get me wrong I’m not a pious person, if I was then I woudnt b on this site but I strongly believe that the prophet of islam wouldnt slander miss moten I bet u he would show her so much compassion and mercy that she would substitute her present cloths and wear a niqaab, and wear it with pride inshallah. so if yr reading this miss moten, plez plez plez remember I’m sure that u r a beautiful woman from within as well as without, so safeguard that beauty and give it the respect and honour it deserves, and believe u me, u deserve it!

Mariyah Moten is a stunner. I am not interested in how sexy she may appear before the regular so-called machos of India or Pakistan. I am a macho and I would not quickly call her sexy in the crude way most double-standard guys out there are labelling her. What she has is a smile that can kill and bring to life. I do not find think that exposure of skin is necessary to prove that someone is beautiful, but I do agree that it definitely is a daring way to say something about maintaining a good figure. Mariyah has definitely proved that point loud and clear. If exposing skin is considered sin in a particular society, then exposing anger and lust, desire for someone else’s woman or casting a lustful look at a beautiful woman for the selfish desire of coveting her body should be considered equally sinful. Someone does it openly without too much of thought of sinning, and others do it in the hiding with definite scheme of sinning. Who would I consider less harmful? Obviously the one who does not hide his or her motives or agendas. Mariyah has not at all hidden her motives and agendas. She went to compete because she had kept up a god physique, maintained a sparkling personality and she had kept account of her assets and she used them positively to earn a name for herself. She has just done what you and I would do given an iota of the chance she got. Why we do not do what Mariyah has done is because we have been somehow slack and lazy about our physique and have been too much self centred to give a damn about what others would have to say about our shape and appearance. Just like an artist expresses his or her inner self through the sculpture, song, poetry or painting, so does people like Mariyah express themselves through beauty that God has obviously entrusted them with. All they need to do is to use that for the good of others, to bring healing to someone in distress. A beautiful woman who smiles at you can make you come alive and give you a reason to live for. Nothing amiss there.

She is sexy but She ain’t pretty. I think she said I’m doing it with my parents permission. She wanted to be famous and this is the only way. After this she came to india for more publicity may be she wants a piece in garma garam bolly.
She has had plastic surgery; nose and boobs. Ive seen prettier girls on this blog than this good thing she was’nt number just because she’s pakistani. Let me also clear one thing for Pakistani folks;
NO ONE CAN REPRESENT A COUNTRY IN SUCH AN EVENT WITHOUT GOVERNMENT PERMISSION. Mushee hiding in a bushee….

Good luck Mariyah babe, you’ve shed light on the other side of Pakistan which
can NEVER be ruled by the mullahs of this land - no matter what!!
There are many societies within the Pakistani society, a lot of ppl here are just fucking happy for the girl, she’s represented Pakstan’s beauty at a pageant and shes won prizes plus acclaim. Thank God for once its not the Indians getting all the acclaim! hahahaha…. Honestly thats what most ppl are thinking!! this has nothing to do with Islam or her being muslim or not.. This is her life, and honestly she needs to be left alone and just live it the way she wants it. If anyone has any masla / problem with that, go fuck yourself and look after your own life, sisters mothers - who the fuck is anyone to judge her or anyone else?? ONLY ALLAH has that right.. none of u do… all u who call urselves devout muslims and write such crap on this site abt her being a whore… shit just back off make urselves better muslims if u want.. We re all gonna get judged one day and none of u are gonna be any better..
Mariyah keep fighting for what you want, you have so much support from all over Pakistan, u go girl!! =D

wao firstly what she did is her own act. secndly all those claiming this as an act to defame islam and pakistan and at the same time useing words like f%$# and l#$@ and i will do this and i will do that. keep these words to yourself man. you aint got the balls to do anything. you dont like it what the fuck are you doing visiting this site. mind your own fucking business. and furthermore what an image you are generating with the splended language you are using. what the girl did was her own doing if you are so concerned pray to all mighty Allah that this does not happens again. ower men can so proudly display there act what they did mukhtara mai or make a farmers wife march naked in the market and move about so freely so why not this girl if she does it at her own. A scene of beauty is a scene of joy for ever. appreciate the body she has, cant do that go and offer prayers and read quran that will help you more than looking at porn or pictures of semi nude girls. please do not try to become MAMA of Islam or whatever happens in the entire world. you dont have the THEKA to correct every thing

A CLASSIC CASE OF THINGS BEING ACCEPTABLE AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT TOUCH ME AND MY BRAND NAME, MY REPUTATION!!
ALSO CONGRATS TO THOSE WHO CAN BREAK THAT STEREOTYPE. WEARING BIKINI HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH MODERNISM. BUT RESPECTING OTHERS RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES OF THEIR CHOICE HAS GOT A HELL LOT TO DO WITH IT!
