ISLAMABAD/KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan and television journalist Reham Khan’s nikkah ceremony took place on Thursday at the politician’s residence in Bani Gala.
The nikkah, which was a low-key affair, was conducted by Mufi Saeed and was followed by a photo session of the newly-weds. During the ceremony, the Haq Mehr was set at Rs100,000.
“We are praying for Imran Khan’s success,” said Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq, adding that the country was facing a very tense situation and therefore the happy news was welcomed.
Yousuf Khan, Reham Khan’s nephew, when speaking to the media said that the function was attended by his mother and two of the bride’s closest friends.
He said that most of Reham Khan’s family is in the United Kingdom and the United States, which was why they could not attend the event.
He also stated that Imran Khan’s closest friends attended the nikkah ceremony as well.
The marriage was described as ‘tough’, ending in a divorce after nine years in June 2004 as Jemima was allegedly unable to adapt to Pakistani culture.
Jemima on Tuesday congratulated via Twitter the PTI leader on “this new phase of his life,” alluding to his reported marriage to broadcast journalist Reham Khan.
