Before I go and give you a full answer, I want to ask you something. If you were in their place..if this happened to you, would you have quietly accepted to do halala in order to go back to your love? Can you do it? Would you not have questioned this rule considering both of you love each other?
Just put yourself in their place and answer honestly please. I am a muslim and I am posing you this question. Don't lie and answer it truthfully. Because what these CVs are showing is reality.
