Celebrities Enter the Fray: TV Drama Wedding Rules Under Fire

Controversy erupts over nikkah validity in dramas after a TV program’s comments lead to public debate and calls for clarity from authorities.

In a recent viral video from a Ramazan TV program, an anchor’s question about the validity of nikkah (marriage) during the show led to a controversial response from a religious scholar. The scholar stated that nikkah is valid under any circumstances, including during a drama or for fun, as long as there are two witnesses present.

This statement prompted a strong reaction from Nadia Hussain, a multifaceted personality known for her modeling, acting, and business ventures, who took to Instagram to voice her concerns. She criticized the statement as an “open call for obscenity,” arguing that it trivializes the sanctity of marriage. Hussain emphasized that in dramas, everything from names to religious figures is fictional, questioning how a nikkah could be considered legitimate in such a context. She warned that such portrayals on national television could lead to serious societal issues, including underage and illegal marriages, and called for authoritative clarification on the matter.

Adding to the discourse, actor CBA Arslan humorously remarked on his multiple on-screen marriages, noting the discrepancy with Islamic law, which allows a man to have up to four wives. He jokingly asked for his drama spouses’ husbands to drop him off at his home before Iftar and quipped about seeking release from jail if he were to commit a crime in a drama.

The topic has become heated on social media, with public opinion divided. Many await a response from prominent scholars to provide clarity and address the concerns raised.
