A fatwa has been issued against Le Gaya Saddam filmmaker Amjad Khan, for allegedly depicting the Muslim marriage tenets in a wrong manner.
The filmmaker has promptly gone into hiding, but says, “JoRajasthanke Mufti hain, unhone fatwa lagya hai mujhpe. But I think there has been some misunderstanding. Perhaps those who issued the fatwa haven’t seen the movie properly. I have kept the Shariat Laws in mind while making the film.

The issue is the scene where it is shown that to remarry the same girl, the boy gets her married off to her grandfather.
Aisey thodi na hota hai, koi bhi kahin se bhi fatwa issue kar de. I am trying to contact them, but till now, it hasn’t happened. Aamne saamne baith ke yeh baatein honi chahiye. Let them tell me what they object to, and if it is ethical, and not the fancy of one person, I will even make changes to the film. They are saying that dada poti se and pote ke Mrs se shaadi nahi kar sakta. But that is not the case. This fatwa has put a restriction on me, aane jaane mein mushkil ho gayi hai,” adds Amjad.
