Nigerian court orders two TikTok stars to marry after “Indecent” video

Nigerian court orders two TikTok stars to marry after “Indecent” video

In Kano, the largest city in northern Nigeria, an Islamic court has ordered the marriage of two TikTok personalities after they shared a video deemed “indecent” under local religious and social norms.

On Monday, the judge instructed the Hisbah, the Islamic moral police of Kano, to arrange the wedding within 60 days. The ruling came after the couple, Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira Yar Guda — the latter living with dwarfism — appeared in several videos kissing and embracing. Such public displays of affection are considered inappropriate in Kano’s conservative Muslim society.

“The court ordered Hisbah to marry the man and woman since they seem to be so deeply in love that they show their romance on TikTok,” said Baba-Jibo Ibrahim, a judiciary spokesperson in Kano. “The marriage must be celebrated within two months,” he added.

Wushirya, who has previously faced legal issues for posting “indecent” content online, was arrested and remains in detention. Hisbah officials confirmed they have begun preparations for the wedding. “Even though we have 60 days, we are determined to do it as soon as possible,” said Hisbah’s director, Abba Sufi, adding that both parties and Wushirya’s parents have given their consent.

Kano is one of 12 Nigerian states where Sharia law operates alongside the national legal system. Hisbah, created in 2001, enforces Islamic codes of conduct and regularly monitors local media, including the vibrant Hausa-language film industry known as Kannywood, and more recently, social media.

The case has sparked debate across Nigeria about personal freedom, religious authority, and the growing reach of moral policing in the digital age.

Artículo (Español):
En Kano, la ciudad más grande del norte de Nigeria, un tribunal islámico ha ordenado el matrimonio de dos celebridades de TikTok después de que publicaran un video considerado “indecente” según las normas religiosas y sociales locales.

El lunes, el juez instruyó a la policía moral islámica, conocida como Hisbah, para celebrar el matrimonio en un plazo de 60 días. La decisión se produjo tras la difusión de varios videos donde la pareja, Idris Mai Wushirya y Basira Yar Guda —esta última con enanismo—, aparecían besándose y abrazándose. En la sociedad musulmana conservadora de Kano, tales gestos públicos de afecto se consideran inapropiados.

“El tribunal ordenó a la Hisbah casar al hombre y a la mujer, ya que están tan enamorados que muestran su romance en TikTok”, declaró Baba-Jibo Ibrahim, portavoz judicial del estado de Kano. “El matrimonio debe celebrarse en un plazo de dos meses”, añadió.

Wushirya, que ya había tenido problemas con la justicia por publicar contenido “indecente”, fue arrestado y se encuentra detenido. Las autoridades de Hisbah confirmaron que ya han comenzado los preparativos. “Aunque el tribunal nos dio 60 días, queremos hacerlo lo antes posible”, afirmó Abba Sufi, director general de la Hisbah, quien señaló que ambas partes y los padres del novio han dado su consentimiento.

Kano es uno de los doce estados nigerianos donde la ley islámica coexiste con el sistema judicial nacional. La Hisbah, creada en 2001, se encarga de hacer cumplir los preceptos de la Sharía y de vigilar los contenidos de la industria cinematográfica local Kannywood y, desde 2022, de las redes sociales.

El caso ha generado un intenso debate en Nigeria sobre la libertad individual, la autoridad religiosa y el alcance del control moral en la era digital.
