SHAH ALAM - A recent viral video showing a woman confronting her husband at a health clinic has led the wife involved to issue a public apology, admitting she had acted out of uncontrolled emotions.
The Instagram user iffahmzzln_ said she regretted sharing personal issues online.
“I would like to apologise to all parties for my misstep in sharing something that should have remained a private family matter.
“I admit that the action was influenced by emotions and anger that I could not control at the time,” she said.
The mother of three acknowledged that her actions had caused embarrassment to her family and urged the public to stop spreading the clips.
“I also sincerely request that everyone who has received, watched or reshared the video stop its circulation.
“This issue not only involves the shame of myself and my partner, but also affects our children and extended family.
“I am now working to resolve this through the proper channels. I truly hope the public will respect my privacy, provide support and pray that my affairs are eased. Thank you for understanding,” she added.
The incident, which went viral for two days on TikTok and even became the subject of parodies, sparked heated reactions online.
However, checks by Sinarplus found that the woman had since deleted several of the recordings from her TikTok account.
Commenting on the matter, Perlis Mufti Professor Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin warned that exposing a spouse’s infidelity publicly was a major sin.
“She cannot justify the act by saying that her husband also committed a sin. One sin does not justify another.
“Exposing the disgrace of a husband only tarnishes one’s own name and also harms the children. Similarly, a husband should not do the same to his wife,” he said.
He explained that if a wife wanted to protest her husband’s infidelity, she should confront him directly or take the case to court.
“If she can no longer accept her husband, she can file for fasakh or separation by presenting her reasons in court.
“Similarly, if a husband believes his wife has been unfaithful, he can accuse her in court through the process of li’an or he may directly divorce her.
“Making netizens the ‘court’ to judge personal sins is a prohibited act. This is because those sins have no connection to netizens, nor is there any need for them to know,” he added.
