Personal life
Islam married her 10-year long boyfriend, S M Parvez Sanjari, a US-Bangla Airlines pilot on 12 May 2017. On 5 October, Islam filed a case against Sanjari with Uttara West Police Station under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act. She alleged him of torturing her - breaking her left arm, burnt her with cigarette butts and injuring several other parts. She also alleged him of asking dowry. Sanjari was arrested on the same day. On 7 October, on a later deleted Facebook post, Islam alleged Sanjari of torturing and cheating, and also announced her intention of divorcing him. Sanjari was arrested on 6 October. After getting bail, Sanjari had sent a divorce letter to Islam on 31 January 2018 and the divorce was completed on 22 May 2018. After refusing to provide evidence for more than 1.5 years, an arrest warrant was issued against Islam on 23 June 2019. 4 weeks later, on 22 July, she gave evidence for the dowry case at the court in July 2019. More than 5 years later since the case was filed, Islam withdrew it in October 2022.

On 2 June 2019, Sanjari suffered an assassination attempt with acid attack in front of his house. Around 8-10% of his body was burnt as a result. Sanjari's father, SM Nasiruddin, filed a case against Islam and, her associate, Kim John Peter Haldar. In February 2019, the court ordered the police to arrest Islam. In December 2020, the police submitted a chargesheet against them. In November 2021, a complaint was formed against them by the Acid Crime Suppression Tribunal.

In September 2019, Sanjari filed a case against Islam and her father, Shahidul Islam, accusing them of keeping secret of her prior marriage. In March 2020, Islam secured bail on this case.

In June 2023, court dismissed both of the cases of cyber crimes of Islam and Sanjari filed against each other in 2019.
