Nadia Khan Challenges ‘Halala Marriage Industry’ in Pakistan
Nadia Khan Speaks Out Against Halala Marriage Practices in Pakistan
LAHORE – Pakistani actress and TV host Nadia Khan has drawn attention once again with her outspoken views on the controversial Halala marriage practice in Pakistan.
Halala refers to a process where a divorced woman marries another man, consummates the marriage, and then gets divorced to be able to remarry her first husband. Nadia discussed this issue during a television program while talking about the drama series “Man Jogi,” which addresses the Halala topic.
Khan emphasized that the themes presented in “Man Jogi” resonate strongly today, as many people have turned Halala into a money-making scheme in the country. She highlighted that these Halala centers are deliberately orchestrating marriages and divorces so that women can return to their original husbands “in a legal manner.” She pointed out that such practices contradict Islamic teachings and have become a source of ridicule.
Additionally, Nadia noted that she has seen promotions for Halala centers on social media, even reading an ad from her phone during the show. Her comments have sparked support from social media users, who agree that these practices should be put to an end.
