Gory Bakr's Remarks

Egyptian actress Gory Bakr has sparked widespread debate after sharing her opinion on the marriage of people with disabilities following news circulating about a recent marriage involving a woman with disabilities.

During media statements, Bakr said she opposes such marriages and questioned the issue from her personal religious perspective.

She said:

"I am against the marriage of people with disabilities... Is this consistent with religious teachings?"

She Denies Bullying

Bakr emphasized that her comments should not be interpreted as bullying or disrespect toward people with disabilities.
