I do understand but dramas violate many aspects of religion. Sadaf also shouldn’t have danced with Ammar at her Mehendi as he wasn’t her husband yet but they did and no one took issue with it.
The writing brought up iddat ompliance multiple times so it's clearly a thing in this universe. Farzana telling Sadaf ke kya mazhab ko nahi maanti. Tham jao. Farzana telling Bilal he can't meet Sadaf but to talk to her on the phone. Sadaf saying on the phone to BA I couldn't meet you when you came. Sadaf wearing dupatta on her head in the office. You can't keep bringing in iddat compliance and then expect people to ignore. Otherwise do it like Noor Jahan did. When Sumbul got divorced and was staying at Noor Bano's, NB introduced her to her cousin, the cousin drops Sumbul off to work, her proposes to her and they have breakfasts and dinners together. This could or could not be happening during iddat we dont know but iddat or iddat compliance was never brought up once in NJ. If you r going to ignore iddat then do it like NJ. Pehle khud iddat ka whole bajao then treat it so cavalierly and then ask ppl to ignore.
Also there are taboos people overlook and are normalized on ptv and those that aren't. Iddat is just not one of those things people are conditioned to ignore on tv if its btought up. In MJ people were pissed that are they showing Alia marrying Ibrahim day after her husband divorces her. But they clarified with a dialogue in next episode that she did her iddat first.
