New Delhi, Feb 24 (PTI) Jamia Millia Islamia issued a circular on Tuesday debunking a notification circulating on social media that claimed the university planned to arrange nikah for boys and girls found standing together during the holy month of Ramadan.

In the circular, the university said the purported notice dated February 20 is "totally fake" and that no such direction has been issued by its authorities.
