- The duo has officially stopped denying that they’re married
Once a ‘rumour’, now a reality, the wedding between Imran Khan and Reham Khan became official on January 8, 2014. The Nikah was reportedly conducted by Mufti Syed, who spoke to the media on the former cricketer’s behalf, “Imran Khan sb asked me to speak on his behalf to the media, his Nikah just happened and the witnesses included Aun Chaudhry, Zakir Khan, Reham’s friend Aziz and others,” he said.
Pakistan Today reported on Mufti Syed’s being the officiator and Aun Chaudhry and Zakir Khan being the witnesses to the Nikah, which originally took place at the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM’s brother’s house on Nov 1 last year, while the present one seems to have taken place at Imran Khan’s residence in Bani Gala, Islamabad. That itself is interesting to note because it is contrary to Pakistani norms where the Nikah is held at the woman’s home and not the man’s.
Interestingly, the Nikah Khuwan refused to comment on whether the Nikah had been conducted earlier on or not. The Haq Mehr has reportedly been set at Rs 100,000.
Reham wore an off-white Karma RED peshwas, while Imran looked dapper in a cream coloured Sherwani, at the ceremony which the two had spent a good amount of time vehemently denying. Khan had gone on to term the news regarding the nuptials an ‘exaggeration’ on his Twitter handle.
That was before he had the chance to discuss his new relationship with his two sons. He returned singing a different tune, one where marrying someone was the right every adult had. And it certainly wasn’t a crime!
While some of Reham’s family and friends were part of the affair, Imran’s four sisters seem to have been left out of the loop.
Aleema Khan, who had earlier lashed out at reports of the marriage as being propaganda and utterly false, had declared that her brother would only marry a “good person”. When the news of the marriage was confirmed she reacted with confusion and disappointment.
Speaking to Pakistan Today, Aleema further denied reports that she and the other sisters had refused to attend the wedding. Instead it seems that they were never asked to come in the first place.
“We, all the sisters, were never informed or contacted by Imran so there was no question to attend it. All of us are in Lahore,” she said.
ROLE MODEL FOR CHILDREN:
Reham herself is quite happy with her role as Khan’s second wife.
Describing the qualities that drew her towards Imran, she told a news channel, “I was looking for a man who would be a good role model for my children.”
“Really admire Imran’s love for his sons…Pakistani men should emulate his example,” she added.
Reham further explained that she had a terrible opinion of her husband before she met him. Furthermore, she had been advised by people time and time again to be careful when dealing with Pakistani politicians. “People get a very wrong impression of him, but he’s different in real life,” she explained.
Some rumours suggested that Reham is anxious to join the political sphere as soon as the wedding is made official, however, Reham doesn’t feel that politics is as effective in terms of the things she wants to work on i.e. education and children’s issues. “I am interested in politics as a journalist, observer and historian,” she further stated.
Meanwhile, it seems like Khan’s sisters weren’t the only ones ‘ignored’.
PTI Secretary General Jahangir Tareen confirmed to local media that no party leaders were invited to the event. “It is completely private. I have not been invited, neither has anyone else. The party understands that this is Khan’s private decision and not for us or anyone to be involved in.”
Evidently, Tareen who is a close confidant and friend to Khan was not introduced to Reham as the future first lady of PTI either. “I have never been introduced to her. No one has… Khan has kept it totally private.”
The couple does not intend to have a Walima (wedding reception) and will instead be feeding children studying in madrassas.
A Valima is a must according to the Islam principles. It could comprise only of family & selected friends. In Islam it is an Official announcement that madam X is officially the wife of such and such. Transparency in Islam is the key in this case.
I am really ashamed of myself today.I once call Imran khan my Leader.I really hate Imran khan now.I swear to God"I will never follow Imran khan again ".We Pakistani people hate Imran after this shameful act.

true love has no age! plus love is also blind
agree with you
Patriot's first wife a British, second wife a Lebanese born British. What a patriot!
Dear Compatriot Pakistani, Rehman Khan was born to Dr Nayyar Ramzan, a physician. Her parents belong to Lughmani tribe and originaly comes from Baffa village in Mansehra-KPK They moved to Libya in late 1960's where she was born, there are around 20-twenty millions very strong Pakistanis compatriots living outside Pak-frontiers! long live Islamic Republic Of Pakistan
Ms. Rehm Khan was born in LIbya, not in Lebnon. She lived in U.K, when her family moved there. It was his parents choice to live in England, she obviously had nothing to do with it. More over what is the problem , if she had lived in Britain. There are millions of Pakistani, who live in different countries ? Does it matter where one's spouse has lived before the marriage, or whether he or she has different nationality.
Marriage is marriage, it does not make you less patriot. I have dual nationality , and have lived a, studied and worked in different countries . I married a foreigner , and were divorced in a friendly manner. My sons live with my ex – wife, and we are still good friends and good parents. In fact better parents than others. It does not in any way compromise my love and patriotism for Pakistan. It is my original country. It is not only my birth place, but where I lived, studied and served it before moving abroad for higher studies. Is it a Crime, or makes me lesser patriot ? We must refrain from criticizing others on such sensitive matters, and causing aspersions on them.
MashaAllah very good and very happy news for all the Muslims, Pakistanis, friend of Islam and Pakistan, hope this holy union will bring joy and happiness to our Ir Pakistan and all our Pakistanis, Sunaat-e-Rasool Allah Mohammad PBUH Moubaraak to our great leader and to all my countrymen/women long live Islamic Republic Of Pakistan
Why is IK sk cictimised for his political stance and his personal life. He chose to expose pakistans corrupt political system – which mostif the middle class educated populace is aware of. And now he choses tk marry ( it of course being promited in islam ) and intrusivly all media is knocking him down. Let the man get on with his personal life. And lets judge him only on his politics, agenda, mandates etc.
For those pure and sinless individuals so kwik to highlight his controversial past – may i boldly say, ” he who is without sin, cast the first stone “.
Congratulations to the couple on their wedding. Lot of stories are current about this affair in the market place. Some dubbed them as sheer rubbish, and others as rumors. Some one has said there is always some truth in the rumor. Where there is smoke , there will be fire.
I do not understand , why some newspapers want to credit of breaking the news first. The facts would remain the same. They should behave in a more dignified manner. All the T.V Channels covered this event, and we heard the same things repeated over and again. Media does not want to let go any opportunity to create a circus like atmosphere . They sing the same tunes over and over to the annoyance of the viewers, readers and non interest people.
There is no need of making spectacle of every event, whether private or public. They should give breathing space to the persons involved in the private activity. More over , who wants to know the minute details of any body's wedding. Who attended the event and who did not come.
Aleema Khan the sister of great Khan may differences with him on this issue of marriage. And Khan thought it better not to get into family rue. Obviously the sisters were neither informed, consulted nor invited to the wedding. The sisters might have plenty of reasons for not participating in the ceremonies. More over Khan wanted to keep it simple and limited affair.
It is strange that close friends , and party comrades were not invited. Many questions arise, but will remain unanswered. Let us not get bogged down over such private matters. We must bury the hatchet , and get on with the life. There are other more important things to do.
"There are other more important things to do." bullseye, absolutely right
after marriage he show that he wants change only his life.he is like other politicians.he is not the right person for pakistan.
first makhdoom shah 2nd his marriages shows he is not patriotic.just drama.nobody again come his dharna.jalsa etc….he shows he love him self.not country.for him many people die.and he doing marriages.what a leader.we hate him.
