Users rallied to Twitter sharing videos of their marriage, a closed ceremony that went viral after the photographer, Moazzam Azam, shared their pictures on his page.

In a country where 21% of the girls are married before the age of 18 annually (according to a UNICEF report of 2013), for some reason, these young adults are being accused for marrying too soon.
Not only that, but the boy is being criticised for being 'too thin' while the girl is being mocked for 'looking like his mother', according to certain Twitter users.
At a point in life where these youngsters should have been garnering blessings, their fate is unfortunately being dictated by these users.

Some however, have spoken in favour for the newly weds, including Imran Ashraf, a popular local celebrity who schooled the critics.
"So now we will be the ones dictating whether someone's decision to be married is right or wrong?" asked Ashraf. "We have started barging into people's houses now! The internet has become such a court where everyone passes a judgement according their own level of frustration."
"They have gotten married, give them prayers, wish them well. May Allah fill their life with happiness," said Ashraf as he closed off his comment on a local outlet's post with prayers.
Nevertheless, some users also rallied in support for the couple.
They both are 18 tears old. Adult and married with consent. I cant find anything wrong https://t.co/tZqO7xSnn5

To all ppl who are mocking on them. Remember Nabi karem (SAW) was 15 years younger than Hazrat khdija nd they were the best couple ever.They're cute MA. You can accept youngest girl for older man but can't digest this,thier age difference is lil bit. You're just shit as a society https://t.co/fMrFRV0Igx
