Through her new non-profit group, Ala Hazrat Helping Society, Nida Khan now counsels other Muslim women to protect them from harmful traditions like triple talaq, polygamy, domestic violence, and Nikah halala, a practice which is forbidden to do in Islam, which involves a female divorcee marrying another man, consummating the marriage, and then getting a divorce – all to allow her former husband to remarry her.[9]
