Palestinian couple part ways after a ‘Like’ and congratulatory comment
Ramallah: A casual and apparently inoffensive post on a Facebook page seems to have cost a Palestinian woman her marriage.
The woman, who had been engaged for the past 18 months to a man she met via Facebook, broke off the marriage because of a “Like” and congratulatory comment she posted on the Facebook page of a female friend.
The Ramallah case comes only few days after the Palestinian Higher Fatwa Council approved connecting online with members of the opposite sex with the aim of marriage for residents of Palestinian territories.
The woman, identified as M.A., was engaged to a Palestinian US resident identified as A.A. a year and a half ago. The couple was scheduled to tie the knot in the coming summer.
