Muslim dating site blasted as ‘wild, humiliating and disgraceful’ for promoting virgin brides and polygamy: 'Affront to women’s dignity!'
The controversy centres on NikkahGram, a UK-registered Muslim matchmaking service that advertises virgin brides and polygamous marriages.
The site, which has been operating since 2023, describes itself as a service for Muslim men seeking a "shy, untouched spouse" and those wanting multiple wives.
It specifically promotes virgin women under 35 as ideal first wives, according to The Telegraph.
NikkahGram was founded "to facilitate marriage for Muslims who stick to core Islamic values of modesty and submission to Allah without modern excuses."
The platform operates on a subscription model, though virgin women can access its services free of charge.
Khan told GB News: "It’s wild, humiliating, disgraceful. It’s an affront to women’s dignity.
NikkahGram actively promotes polygamous marriages, allowing men to seek a second, third or fourth wife. The platform advises men against registering Islamic marriages in Western countries, where polygamy constitutes a criminal offence.
The platform has shared videos suggesting men should beat their wives as a "wake-up call" for continued disobedience.
In a clip about divorce posted on Instagram last week, men are advised: "From those wives whom you fear arrogance, first advise them. [After] one month of advising, then if they persist, forsake them in bed - don't have any intimacy.
"Show them that you don't desire them. And if they persist, finally strike them lightly, not with a baseball bat, not from the very beginning boom, no. This is gradual."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
