What Exactly did Adnaan Shaikh say in the Viral Podcast?
The contentious remarks were made during Adnaan Shaikh's appearance on the 'Aa Dil Ki Baat Karein' podcast. While discussing societal perspectives on remarriage for divorced or widowed women, Shaikh attempted to advocate for their right to remarry. However, his choice of words drastically overshadowed his intended message.
Shaikh controversially stated, "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?" (Translation: "I want to ask society. We've calculated that if 25-30% of women are left, do you have a problem if someone marries them? If they become public property and many people use them, will you be okay with that?"). He further compounded the issue by asking listeners to imagine their own mothers or sisters in such a scenario, using the phrase "public property" to describe women who do not remarry.
