English Translation: “You can change my name if I [Mufti Tariq Masood] do not get you a 4^th and virgin wife after you [his listeners] marry three divorcees and widows.”

He was seen saying this on a video clip that his official channel posts on the social media.

Muslims from all around the world are urging a ban on Tariq Masood for passing insensitive remarks which can trigger child abuse.

The cleric after passing comments was seen laughing, along with his listeners.

According to official statistics of Pakistan, the country has reported 90 rape cases in the month of October, most of the cases included minor girls.

Passing such comments can further promote such cases if a ban hasn’t been put, social media followers say.

The latest case which made international headlines from Pakistan involved a mother and her 4-year-old daughter which was abused repeatedly in Kashmore, Sindh.

The 4-year-old daughter is currently battling for her life in a local hospital.

On the other hand, this is what people on social media have to say about Mufti Tariq’s insensitive statements;
