Veena Malik obtains divorce from husband

LAHORE: Actress Veena Malik has obtained a divorce from her husband Asad Khattak ending three years of marriage.

The actress had filed an application in a family court in Lahore seeking a divorce from Khattak over irreconcilable differences stating that they cannot live together.

The court ruled in her favour over non-pursuance of the case by her husband who did not appear during court proceedings. Judge Kaisar Jameel Gujjar had on January 31, 2017 issued the decree in favour of Veena Malik.

The couple were married on 25 December 2013. They have two children named Abram and Amal who are presently in the custody of Malik.

Veena will also have return 25 per cent of the ‘haq mehr’ (dower money) to Khattak because she applied for divorce. There was a rift with her husband since the past few months as she attempted to return to showbiz.
