YouTuber Rajab Butt has spoken publicly about divorcing his wife Emaan Fatima, saying that he now wants the matter to move forward through legal channels.
In a recent YouTube video, Rajab Butt addressed statements shared by his wife on Instagram and said that he will no longer discuss his personal life on social media.
“As you saw, Emaan posted a story on Instagram. Let me say one thing: by posting that story, neither you won nor did I. The only thing that won was ego and stubbornness. The real loss is for our child,” he said.
He also questioned the decision to share the divorce notice publicly rather than addressing the matter privately with him or his family.
“You felt it was necessary to post a story instead of sending a message to me or to any member of my family. You thought that even if the marriage goes to hell, even if divorce happens, at least people should get the perspective that we are right and the other side is wrong,” he said.
Rajab Butt said he and his family have faced online criticism since the start of their marriage, but he believed sharing their child’s image in the post was unnecessary.
“But showing Kiwan’s hand in the story along with the divorce paper was not necessary. Even without showing Kiwan’s hand, people would still abuse us, so you do not need to worry about that,” he added.
He also said that if a relationship fails, religion allows couples to end it respectfully.
The YouTuber stated that he will not provide further updates about the issue online and that the matter will now proceed according to legal and religious procedures.
“According to Shariah law, I have sent the first notice. The second notice will be sent at its time. Everything will be handled legally. I am ending this matter gracefully,” he said.
Rajab Butt rose to fame through family vlogs on YouTube. He married Emaan Fatima in 2024, and their wedding gained widespread attention online as videos and pictures from the ceremonies circulated across social media platforms.
Public statements from both sides later indicated that the relationship faced problems soon after the marriage.
Rajab Butt has also been facing multiple legal cases. According to claims circulating online, the couple did not spend much time living together after their marriage.
In recent weeks, the dispute drew further attention when Emaan Fatima’s brother began sharing her side of the matter on social media.
Several allegations and claims also circulated online during the controversy, including accusations that Rajab Butt cheated on his wife while she was pregnant.
