Personal life and controversies

Nida Khan got married on February 18, 2015, after which she was pressured for dowry. She claimed, her husband assaulted her which lead to her having a miscarriage. Later her husband gave her a Instant triple talaq, and she was kicked out of the home on July 17, 2015.[8]

Through her new non-profit group, Ala Hazrat Helping Society, Nida Khan now counsels other Muslim women to protect them from harmful traditions like triple talaq, polygamy, domestic violence, and Nikah halala, a practice which is forbidden to do in Islam, which involves a female divorcee marrying another man, consummating the marriage, and then getting a divorce – all to allow her former husband to remarry her.[9]
