'Marry man with wife or become public property': Zakir Naik's advice to unmarried women sparks outrage (WATCH)

Controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik has sparked a wave of outrage across social media platforms after making controversial remarks regarding the status of unmarried women on Pakistan soil.

According to Naik, if there are no single men available, then such a woman would have to marry an already married man to be respected or face becoming what he referred to as "public property."

So, they have two options. First option is to get married to a man who already has a wife or she will become a 'bazaari aurat'. She will become a public property. I don't have a better word. So if I present this scenario to an unmarried woman, any respectable woman will opt for the first option," Naik said in the viral video.
