False claim viral with clipped video; misreport by several outlets"},"content":{"rendered":"

A video is viral on social media with the claim that a Muslim woman is getting married to her father. The 26-second clip appears to be a segment of an interview in which the interviewer tells the woman that the Arabic root word for ‘Rabiya’ means ‘four’ and asks Rabiya how is such a coincidence possible that she is the fourth wife to her husband. Rabiya responds to the question by saying that her name is usually assigned to the fourth child of a household. She then adds that she is a second child herself, and therefore sees it quite fitting that she should be married as the fourth wife to someone, to fulfil the meaning of her name.<\/p>\n

ABP News, in a now-modified article published on July 9, 2023, shared the same viral claim, calling attention to the woman marrying her father. They had also posted the claim on Instagram, but it has since been taken down.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
