Results showed a significant positive impact of forgiveness on psychological resilience among women. Findings further revealed that marital status was the significant determinant of forgiveness and resilience among women. It was found that married women have significant effects on forgiveness and resilience. Study has the implication to enhance the mental health by learning forgiveness skills because universal forgiveness exercises can help to find best strategies to deal with feeling of stress hurt pain revenge resentment and so on.
