LAHORE/ISLAMABAD: Famous showbiz star is set to face more trouble now as the Sessions Court in Lahore has declared her Nikkah with her estranged husband, Attiqur-Rahman valid and legal though the actress has disowned it.
On Jan 31, 2022, the Sessions Court in Lahore dismissed actress Meera’s petition challenging a family court’s decision which rejected her plea to declare her Nikahnama (marriage document) with businessman Attiqur Rehman fake and fabricated.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Mazhar Hussain dismissed appeal of Meera and upheld the family court’s decision. In her petition, Meera had claimed that Attique prepared a fake nikahnama to grab her property. She denied having any relationship with Rehman and accused him of blackmailing her by claiming to be her husband.
The family court, however, has rejected her plea in May 2018 and declared her marriage with Attiqur-Rehman valid and lawful. The court, nonetheless, cancelled her marriage with Attique on the basis of a ‘khula’ request by Meera. The plea was filed nine years earlier, in 2009.
In 2009, Judge Babar Nadeem noted that the case file by Meera nine years ago was not based on the truth and she was the wife of the defendant (Attiqur-Rehman). “The nikhanama is lawfully registered,” the judge said.
The Judge observed that a house in DHA Lahore had become bone of contention between the couple and they involved in criminal and civil litigation against each other for the last 10 years.
The judge observed that the couple could not live anymore like husband and wife due to bitterness of their relation. “Therefore, the nikhanama in question is hereby declared cancelled,” the judge added.
Interestingly, Meera tried to get married to captain Naveed, but Attique challenged it in the court, saying she was still her wife.
