Khawar Maneka, the first husband of Bushra Bibi, the wife of former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan, said the case surrounding the ‘unlawful’ marriage of Khan and Bushra is not of a political nature, but rather a matter stemming from the ‘destruction of his home’, compelling him to seek justice in the court.
Speaking to the media after appearing in district courts on Monday, Maneka clarified that the case is “of original nature” and he has no personal animosity towards Imran Khan. “I don’t know Khan… I don’t even think about him,” Maneka asserted.
During his interaction with the media, Maneka expressed surprise at the revelation of the secret marriage and emphasised that secret marriages go against Islamic Sharia. He claimed that even their children were unaware of the divorce between him and Bushra and that they were only informed about their mother’s marriage to Khan after attending court hearings. Maneka revealed that he showed the children the marriage certificate, proving that Bushra and Imran got married on January 1, 2018.
