Hearing on Petition against Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi’s Nikah, adjourned
A District and Sessions Court in Islamabad convened over the hearing of a complaint filed against Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi after reports surfaced the couple had married during Bushra Bibi’s iddat from her previous marriage.
The hearing for the petition has been adjourned till April 28. According to Baaghi TV reports, the statement of the witness Mufti Saeed could not be recorded. The petitioner’s lawyer said that the witness had gone for Umrah so the court should set a future date.
Senior Civil Judge Nasruminallah Baloch heard the complaint filed by Muhammad Hanif, against Imran Khan and his third wife, Bushra Bibi. In the petition, Imran Khan, Bushra Bibi, and the State have been made parties.

According to the petition, filed against the couple under section 496 marriage is illegal during iddat [the period a woman must observe after the death of her husband or after a divorce, during which she may not marry another man], Muhammad Hanif alleged Bushra Bibi and Khan married while she was still in iddat from her previous marriage, having divorced.
A copy of the couple’s marriage certificate has been attached to the complaint. The petitioner has claimed he saw a video on social media in which Mufti Muhammad Saeed, witness to the union, said he had performed the nikah while the bride was still observing iddat. Later, Mufti Saeed shared details from Khan’s nikah during a meeting at his residence.

According to Mufti Saeed, as a friend of the PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf) Chairman and former Prime Minister (PM), Khan had asked him to come to Lahore for the purpose of performing his nikah on 1st January 2018. At the time, the Mufti was informed the iddat period had been completed and the marriage would be per Shaira regulations, however, he later found out that the marriage was illegal as the nikah had been performed during the iddat period. At the time of the nikah this fact was hidden from him while the couple lived together in Bani Gala, said Mufti Saeed.
After the truth was exposed, Imran Khan contacted him and requested that the nikah be performed once again. During a conversation with Mufti Saeed, Khan reportedly admitted that the first nikah was performed while Bushra Bibi was still observing iddat from her previous divorce in November 2017.

It is worth mentioning, both Khan and Bushra Biibi have known each other since 2015 and were fully aware of the Islamic rulings on iddat but deliberately entered into such an “illegal” union. The petitioner has thereby turned to the court for appropriate actions against the two.
It is worth mentioning that Mufti Saeed confirmed the nikah had been performed twice, as the first was declared “invalid” because the bride was still in iddat. After the completion of iddat, Imran Khan got married to Bushra Bibi for the second time, he confirmed. I came to know through Awn Chaudhry, that Imran Khan’s marriage with Bushra Bibi had taken place during iddat after which I told him to repeat the nikah, he added.

During iddit period Nikah is invalid and unislamic so both Bushra and Imran must be brought to
justice according to shariah laws. It is a very very serious offence and must be snubbed. What was the hurry getting married in iddit? Condemnable in real sense.
