Fake claim by X user that Muslim woman had married her son debunked by Mohammed Zubair
Fact-checker Mohammed Zubair has debunked a false claim made by X user @swetasamadhiya, who is followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sweta Srivastava who describes herself as an "Andhbhakt" and a "Hardcore Modi" supporter on her X bio had shared a video on her X account with a claim that a woman had married her own son in Kerala after the death of her husband.
In reality the video in question shows a mother congratulating her son after he completed the recitation of the Quran. However, it was falsely shared with the misleading assertion that a Muslim woman had married her son. Zubair's fact-check clarifies the actual context of the video, correcting the spread of misinformation

In the past also two edited photographs had gone viral on social media with the claim that "a father married his own daughter, prompting the mother to get furious and marry her own son." Back then also these claims were debunked by Alt News.
Many such false claims were earlier shared by right wing accounts. pic.twitter.com/dR5xtrYyyY
