Mahira's husbands are hot: Fans crack up as scholar deems marriages in dramas valid

Declaration has caused uproar on social media
Entertainment Desk | March 27, 2024

A recent statement made by a religious scholar on a television show regarding the portrayal of nikkah (marriage) in dramas has sparked a heated debate on social media platforms. According to the scholar, if two actors enact a scene of nikkah in a drama, their marriage would be deemed valid in reality.

The assertion made by the religious scholar has stirred widespread controversy, with individuals from the entertainment industry and social media influencers weighing in on the matter. Notably, model and actor Nadia Hussain took to her Instagram to express her concerns regarding the declaration.

In a lengthy video shared on her Instagram account, Nadia was visibly shocked by the scholar's viewpoint. She highlighted that the portrayal of nikkah in dramas is purely fictional. She further pointed out the use of fake names, witnesses, and signatures in these fictional scenarios, asserting that the entire setting is not conducive to a legitimate marriage ceremony. Nadia further argued that such statements from religious scholars on television could potentially set a dangerous precedent by incorrectly legitimising invalid marriages.

Joining the discussion, comedian Ali Gul Pir shared the widely circulated discussion video on his Instagram Story, injecting humour into the debate by humorously suggesting that uttering the phrase "Say pencil, your marriage cancel" would lead to divorce. Similarly, actor Ushna Shah also took a lighthearted approach to the controversy, jokingly remarking on owing her husband an explanation in light of the scholar's assertion. "Time for an awkward conversation with my husband," she stated.
