These visuals show a Pakistani supporting his mother’s remarriage after 18 years and not him marrying his mother
A post going viral on social media (here, here, and here) claims to show visuals of a son marrying his mother in Pakistan after she raised him for 18 years. In this article, let’s verify the truth behind the video.
Claim: The video shows a son marrying his mother in Pakistan after she raised him for 18 years.
Fact: The video shows Abdul Ahad from Pakistan supporting his mother’s remarriage after 18 years, arranging her marriage to give her a second chance at love and life. He did not get married to his mother. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
A reverse image search of keyframes from the viral video led to a Hindustan Times report (archived) dated 30 December 2024, covering the same incident. The report identifies the person as Abdul Ahad, who supported his mother’s remarriage after 18 years. He arranged her marriage to give her a second chance at love and life.
The article mentioned that Abdul Ahad shared a video on Instagram capturing emotional moments with his mother, ending with her joyous nikah. Following this clue, we found his Instagram handle, where the same video (archived) was posted with the caption “leaving it here” and hashtags like #love, #mother, #nikah, #cute, and #instagram.
We also found the same viral photo (archived) on his Instagram, in which he expressed gratitude for the overwhelming love and support he received after sharing the news of his mother’s marriage.
We also found several Pakistani media reports covering this incident (here, and here) (archived here and here).
To sum up, these visuals show a Pakistani supporting his mother’s remarriage after 18 years and not him marrying his mother
