«بِنْتِ الدَّارْ عُورَهْ»

The proverb says that people may disparage what is already theirs, treating a possession as less desirable precisely because they own it.

Its figurative image links a household daughter with visual impairment and reflects demeaning assumptions about women and disability; it is not a valid judgment of appearance, worth, or disability.

Use it, if at all, to comment on the tendency to undervalue one’s own possessions. Because its imagery is harsh and stereotypes women and people with visual disabilities, avoid using it to assess any person’s appearance or disability.
