The 37-year-old also cautioned against speculation or misinformation surrounding the matter.

 

"I request everyone not to engage in or believe any misleading narratives. Any attempt to defame or involve others in this personal matter will be addressed through the proper legal channels if necessary."

 

With reference to his children, Imad said he remained their father and would continue to care for them fully and responsibly.

 

Separately, Sania Ashfaq also shared a detailed statement on Instagram, alleging "involvement of a third party".

 

"I am writing this from a place of deep pain. My home has been broken, and my children have been left without their father. I am a mother of three, including a five month old infant who has yet to be held by his father," she wrote.

 

"Like many marriages, ours had difficulties, yet it continued to exist. I remained committed as a wife and mother and made sincere efforts to preserve our family. What ultimately ended this marriage was the involvement of a third party, whose intention was to marry my husband, became the final blow to an already struggling union," she claimed.

 

She also spoke of the hardships she faced during pregnancy.

 

"Following this, I endured emotional torment, mistreatment, abortion and abandonment while pregnant and vulnerable, choosing patience for the sake of my children and the dignity of my home," Sania wrote.

"The divorce process itself is legally disputed and remains under scrutiny. The truth will emerge through proper channels," she said.

 

"It is crucial to mention that there is documented evidence available for each and every culprit in this matter but I'm being threatened to not post it publicly. For every individual who attempts to threaten me shall be dealt with by the law," she wrote.

 

Sania concluded her statement by saying, "I speak today not out of vengeance, but out of truth for myself, for my children, and for every woman who was told to endure in silence."
