Blame black magic for divorce between couples, tweets Reham Khan

Reham took to social media website Twitter to subtly express her views on the marriage dissolution.

LAHORE (Dunya News) – In a tweet resonating her earlier divorce with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, Reham on Monday night took to the social media website Twitter to subtly express her views on the marriage dissolution. The former wife of PTI Chairman tweeted:


“The Quran states that the fundamental reason why Iblees taught people black magic was in order to cause separation between husband and wife”



The marriage between the former BBC weather girl and the PTI leader and their subsequent split has recently remained a hot topic and has been under the spotlight, both for the media and the general public.

As the rumours came alive and news of the divorce settled in, the incident was scrutinized more than ever before. Questions, conspiracy theories, facts of past and present, all were tossed and turned, rejected and acknowledged in an effort to somehow correlate any one of them that may answer the separation of the recently wed couple. Reham’s entrance into the political arena, the apparent displeasure of Imran’s family over the wedding, conspiracy theories that have been denied as baseless such as the former wife trying to poison her husband and reports of her being physically tortured, even far-stretched claims by a British newspaper of Reham banning the PTI Chairman’s dogs and servants from the house have been linked to the couple’s breakup.

The tweet by Imran’s ex-wife offers an interesting perspective into the matter, as do her earlier comments during a media conference in Manchester:


““You can hit a six but what matter is if you opt for a long term partnership and complete your century.”


Reham has, for the most part, remained silent on the issue, dropping faint hints as to what led the couple to part their ways. In her own words and the reason for the divorce was that the “bond” between the couple had broken and that the relationship had suffered a breakdown.

Both partners have been seen denying various claims including a claim by a British newspaper that the PTI Chairman divorce message was communicated to her via text message, which was denied by one of Reham’s friend saying a note had been given to her.

Claims have also been made that the former BBC presenter will be paid Rs. 8 Crore in financial settlement of divorce, a claim denied by Reham in a written statement.

The PTI Chairman, previously married to Jemima Marcelle Goldsmith, has also denied the various claims made and even vented his anger at a journalist for asking him about his private life.

Reham has also reconnected with her ex-husband Dr Ijaz who wanted to take the matter of meeting children to court.

The celebrated and much hyped marriage of the couple suffered an unfortunate end as the marriage ended with a divorce after 10 months of their wedding. The couple had agreed mutually for the divorce citing irreconcilable differences.

Talking to Dunya News, PTI spokesperson Naeemul Haq ha d stated that the decision to divorce was very sensitive and serious issue. He stated:
"She (Reham) wanted to get involved with politics and that is not what Khan wanted at all. She just did not want to sit at home."

Soon after the news broke, Imran Khan had stated that this was a painful time for him and Reham and requested everyone to respect their privacy.
