Karachi: Imran Khan married his third wife Bushra Riaz Wattoo, better known as Bushra Bibi, to become prime minister of Pakistan. The nikahkhwan (cleric), who solemnised the marriage, told a Islamabad court that according to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief, there was a predication of him becoming the PM if he marries Bushra Bibi in January 2018. Mufti Muhammad Saeed Khan, the cleric, in his statement before the Islamabad district and sessions court, claimed that Imran contacted him over the phone on 1 January, 2018, asking him to solemnise his marriage with Bushra Bibi. He further said the PTI chief took him to a house in Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Lahore where a woman identified herself as Bushra Bibi’s sister and said he asked the woman if Bushra Bibi’s nikah could be solemnised as per Shariah.
The cleric further said the woman told him that all the conditions of the Shariah for Bushra Bibi’s marriage were fulfilled. Following her assurance, the nikah (marriage) was solemnised on 1 January, 2018. Imran Khan’s wedding with Bushra Bibi was ‘un-Islamic’ Mufti Saeed told the court that Imran Khan knowingly married Bushra Bibi during her ‘Iddat’ period, the time when a woman goes into isolation after her husband dies or divorces her. According to reports, Bushra Bibi’s divorce took place on 14 November, 2017 and the Iddat was completed on 14 February, 2018.
