CAIRO — Although the Ramadan 2021 season came to an end May 12, many of the TV series that were shown over that month are still causing controversy among viewers, legal experts and clerics. This particularly was the case with “Newton’s Cradle,” which highlighted thorny issues such as the legality of verbal divorce and marital rape.
The series, directed by Tamer Mohsen and written by Maryam Naoum, dealt with the relationship between Hana (played by actress Mona Zaki) and Hazem (played by actor Mohamed Mamdooh) and the verbal divorce issue.
