I don't feel its a wrong message...i'm not saying that men are justified in doing what they do.. they definitely aren't.
But as women, we have a responsibility to look after ourselves and not invite trouble... and here both Haya and Faiz invited trouble for themselves.
We know that there all sorts of men in this world, rapists , eve teasers etc and for them what they do is not wrong and we cannot change them no matter what we do and such men will always be there... and so knowing that why should a girl (who is not even trained in self defense) stand in the middle of a lonely road dressed in a dress like that which shows half her body?... thats inviting trouble for yourself...
Woman should have their independence, they should also be able to do what they want and go where ever they want freely as well... but knowing that there are all sorts of men also in this world and knowing that we cannot do anything to change their mentality (thats the reality.. they are criminals and they aren't going to change by any lecture we give.), when we use our independence also we have to be sensible.
And here actually Haya wasn't even comfortable to stay back there and she asked Faiz to take her with him but Faiz refused saying that nothing will happen... so its the immaturity and foolishness of Faiz that the CVs have shown here.. and he has been like that from the beginning... if it was Rahat he would never have left Haya alone there and gone... and i think its the main message they are giving here... the whole scene is not about Haya's dress...and its not meant to show that woman should not wear such dresses... its to show that woman also should be sensible in doing what they do...and here haya who is not a girl who would otherwise wear something like that did it just to spite Rahat.. and what she did was not sensible.
I'm sorry, but your post made me so sad. Imagine us, the literate lot with internet connection and the world at our fingertip with just a simple click + best education, still thinking like this. The future still has some women suppression in store for us, I gather. Are you a female or a male? Don't take this as an attack, please. A guy justifying this act, I understand; but a female, I don't. 
NO one can claim that wearing short clothes invite trouble or else girls wearing a saree, or a salwar kameez or even a burkha would not be raped. But unfortunately they are. As a female, it's our right to wield our freedom to say what we want and to wear what we want. It's not a girls responsibility if she is leered by some men. It's the man who is lacking in manners and upbringing. A female has to drill it in her son that girls are not a thing to be lusted after. They are human beings. I won't say that mother ONLY should instill respect and manner in their son. The whole family should. It's not only the mother's duty to show what is wrong and right but when females agree with such backward thinking is when the trouble arises. 
The situation was wrong for Haya, I agree but it was not her fault that she was leered at. it was not her clothes fault that she was harassed. It's the thinking that is still wrong. Respect for the female sex that is still lacking. 
@TM: Wonderful post. I must admit, I was going to make a post on this topic myself but you beat me to it.😃👏 And I agree with every single word you uttered. QH has a long way to grow yet. They still think women are some weakling, even after introducing characters like Dilshad, Seher and Sanam. Pity.
