Defending the relationship, she said, “Our marriage is a mix of arranged and love marriage. We liked each other, after which we named our relationship Nikaah with mutual consent and made it official.”

Babar showed a mirror to those who criticized him sharply and said that he had not done anything wrong, but had fulfilled the Sunnah by marrying.
