He explained that the act contravened Islamic guidelines governing marriage, prompting the Hisbah to launch an investigation to ascertain all the details surrounding the incident.
The Deputy Commander advised parents to pay closer attention to their children’s activities, especially in matters concerning marriage, to prevent them from engaging in acts that violate religious principles.
