A recent directive by the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) on scenes involving physical shows of affection between couples on screen has left people questioning the body’s priorities. Hugs, caress scenes, bold dressing and intimacy between married couples shouldn't be glorified and should be banned as this is not our culture. Maulvi raping kids in madrassas, husband beating wives, thats our culture, now that's some cultural content. — anastipu (@teepusahab) October 23, 2021So basically PEMRA said that intimacy with your spouse and hugging your partner is unislamic ,whereas inflicting physical and mental torture on your partner is according to Shariah and culture of Pakistan. pic.twitter.com/Db6QxFDPFJ — Nida Kirmani (@NidaKirmani) October 22, 2021PEMRA has ordered against the airing of any 'objectionable' content, stating, "All satellite TV licenses are required to stop airing such content in dramas, henceforth, and ensure compliance of PEMRA laws in letter and spirit."
