== Controversy ==
In 1989, she participated in the [[Miss Asia Pacific International]] beauty pageant, where she made a controversial remark on [[polygamy]] during the contest in [[Manila]], [[Philippines]]. She was quoted as saying, "Muslim women should be allowed to have four spouses, just as Muslim men can take four wives at any one time." After her statement, she was forced to withdraw from the contest. She was accused of preaching immorality by outraged Pakistanis. In January 1989, 22 lawyers demanded that she should clarify her statement. A case was filed against her in Pakistan, terming her alleged statement "illegal and immoral".<ref name=Taylor>{{cite book |author1=Andrew Rippin |authorlink1=Andrew Rippin |title=Muslims: The contemporary period |date=1993 |publisher=[[Taylor & Francis]] |isbn=9780415045285 |pages=105, 104 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=erOh3zXi9U4C&q=Anita+Ayub&pg=PA102}}</ref><ref name=Asiaweek/>
