Pakistani actor Veena Malik has ended her three-year-old marriage with Asad Bashir Khan Khattak after a family court here granted them divorce.
The court in Lahore accepted Veena’s ‘khula’ (divorce) application and ruled in her favour after non-pursuance of the case by Khattak. As she had filed for divorce, she will to have return 25 per cent of the ‘haq mehr’ (dower money) to Khatak.
According to a court official, the 33-year-old actor had filed a plea seeking divorce in the Lahore family court in first week of this January as the couple had developed differences and could not live together.
The court had summoned Khattak but he neither appeared nor filed a reply.
On this, the court accepted Veena’s plea and issued a decree last month validating divorce between the couple, the official said. The couple kept the development under wraps.
