A man from a village in Sargodha has registered a complaint claiming that two half-siblings have tied the knot with the support of his divorced wife and her relatives.

The father, Sooba Khan, had reportedly been married three times.

He first got married to Khurshid Bibi in 1992. The wedding was part of an exchange marriage known as ‘Watta Satta’. Sooba Khan’s sister was married to Khurshid’s brother.

After the marriage, Sooba and Khurshid had a son named Sikandar. Shortly after Sikandar’s birth, Sooba’s sister got divorced due to a family conflict and then Sooba also decided to divorce his wife Khurshid.

Sooba then married Shahnaz Bibi and had a daughter named Zahra.

However, Sooba got divorced from his second wife and later married for the third time with a woman he currently lives with.

According to the complainant, around five months ago, Sikandar and Zahra got married to each other without informing him.

Sooba told The Express Tribune that he learnt about the marriage after five months.

He told that he came to know about the marriage via a WhatsApp message where he saw the marriage certificate of his two children.

Sooba also alleged that his ex-wife Khurshid was majorly responsible for the marriage as she was telling others in the family that she had supported the act in revenge for the unfairness she was subjected to by Sooba.

According to Sooba, Khurshid was also sending money to her son while also fully encouraging him.
