On Sunday, the cricketer turned politician Imran Khan married his spiritual guide Bushra Maneka at a simple ceremony held in Lahore, Pakistan. This is said to be the third marriage of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Chief Imran Khan. The PTI Spokesman Fawad Chaudhry in a tweet said, “Marriage is the combination of two hearts and two souls which join each on this special day of the wedding. I wish a very happy and blessed married life to Imran Khan. The valima (one of the two traditional parts of an Islamic wedding) ceremony will also be held in a simple manner in a few days.”
Khan said, “I would like to reiterate that every time I met her, with family and alone, she has been in purdah (veil.) My interest in her lies in the fact that I have not seen or met anyone with her level of spirituality. I only sent the proposal for marriage after she divorced her husband.”
Khan’s previous two marriages ended in divorce. In 1995, Khan first married the daughter of a British Billionaire, Jemima Goldsmith. The marriage lasted for 9 years and Khan had two sons from Jemima.
