HIGHLIGHTS
- Nida Khan was divorced by her husband, Sheeran Raza, who is from the family of the head of Aala Hazrat, through instant talaq in 2016.
- She contested this in a civil court, which declared the divorce invalid.
- Khan has been highlighting the plight of instant triple talaq and nikah halala victims ever since, inviting ire of clerics.
In a controversial move, a cleric at Bareilly's influential Dargah Aala Hazrat seminary passed a fatwa on Monday asking people to boycott Nida Khan - an instant triple talaq victim who has been running an NGO for women who too are victims of the practice and nikah halala - or face "dismissal" from Islam. Though the copy of the written fatwa uses the name 'Hinda' instead of 'Nida', a cleric later told mediapersons that the fatwa has been passed for Nida. |
