The group has stated that the couples’ privacy is being violated, posing a threat to their lives. According to the organisation, married couples were subjected to unnecessary harassment and fear as their privacy was violated as a result of the uploading of their personal information on the website via public notice. According to the law, such public notice is not required to be published online. According to the organisation, the current practice endangers the lives of couples because their personal data becomes public and can be misused, causing obstacles in the smooth conduct of the marriage.

“We have met the head of the women’s commission and she told us that she will follow up with the government on this issue. However, despite several meetings with the IGR, nothing has progressed in a positive direction, which is causing concern among the couples,” according to the statement of the firm.
