What Adnaan Shaikh Said
During a recent discussion on the Aa Dil Ki Baat Karein podcast, Adnaan spoke about marriage, divorcees and widows, suggesting that women who do not remarry could become "public property". He further commented on widows, divorcees and members of the LGBTQ+ community, saying society should consider whether such women should remarry or face social judgment.
"Society se main puchna chahta hoon. Humne jo calculate kiya, agar 25-30% women agar bach rahi hai, toh shaadi agar koi kare, toh usse tumko dikkat hai? Agar woh public property ban jaye aur usse bohot log use karein, toh kya tumko yeh cheez chalegi? Woh 25-30% mein yeh socho tumhari maa ya behen hogi, tum kya chahoge?" he said.
