Petition Against Pakistani Dating Show
A petition has been filed against the Pakistani dating show Lazawal Ishq, citing it as a 'dangerous influence' and 'un-Islamic'.
The show, hosted by Ayesha Omar, is filmed in Istanbul and based on the Turkish format Aşk Adası, similar to the international hit Love Island.
In Pakistan, where extramarital relationships are illegal and public dating is stigmatized, the show's format has raised concerns.
- The show features four men and four women living together in a luxury villa.
- Every interaction is recorded and the show premiered on YouTube on September 29.
- The show will run for 100 episodes.
Pakistanis "just hate to have fun"
The show's promotional teaser, released in September, also drew criticism.
