prejudice and criticism
On Saturday, Karnal decided to counter some biased comments he received after taking over the marriage. Among the followers who responded, many mentioned the 32year age difference between the two.
“Facing the most important decision in life, do you choose someone half your age? That’s the incoherent wisdom,” criticized one of the netizens, who was refuted by Karnal. “If I ever have to remarry, remember to seek your advice first. My goal is to live a life like yours!” the scholar sneered.
In addition to criticism of the age difference between the two, other followers were also surprised at Karnal’s relationship with a samesex person.
Personal life. Karnal has always been discreet and had never pursued a relationship, although he has said he has had “two longlasting relationships” in the past.
