Bahria University issues clarification regarding viral Nikkah notification

This development comes after the claim quickly sparked confusion and concern among students, parents, and the general public, particularly due to the sensitive religious context attached to the message. However, investigations confirm that the notification was fabricated and did not originate from the university.

The widely shared letter alleged that male and female students standing together as a couple during Ramadan would not be allowed on campus and that, in case of violation, an immediate nikah would be arranged.

It further claimed that the individuals involved would bear responsibility for wedding expenses, including the walima. To make the document appear authentic, it carried the signature of a supposed “Director Academics, Ayesha Rahman.”

The overall format closely resembled a formal university circular, which significantly contributed to its rapid spread across various social media platforms.
