Maulana Mufti Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi, president of All India Muslim Jamaat, stated that the marriage between Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and journalist Nidhi Razdan is unlawful under his interpretation of Islamic law. He argued that for a marriage to be valid under Sharia, both parties must be Muslim. Since Omar Abdullah is Muslim but Nidhi Razdan is not, the marriage is impermissible unless she had converted to Islam before the nikah.
