A video showing a burqa-clad woman sitting with an elderly man in a skullcap is viral across social media platforms. In the video, the elderly man refers to the girl as his former daughter-in-law and claims they performed \u201chalala\u201d in accordance with Islam. “<\/span>Halala” is a controversial Islamic marriage practice, according to which, a divorced woman must marry or consummate with another man before remarrying her former husband.<\/p>\n

The woman, who says she is 22 years old, later proclaims that after the “halala,” she doesn’t want to get back with her ex-husband and wants to instead continue living with her 60-year-old father-in-law. <\/span>Social media users sharing the video took a dig at the two and at the Muslim community, for such practices.<\/p>\n

X user Deepika Narayan Bharadwaj (<\/span>@DeepikaBhardwaj<\/span>), who claims she is a men\u2019s rights activist and journalist, shared the video and remarked that the two individuals in the video kept repeating they were following the words of Allah. (Archive<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
