Ever since former Pakistan captain and currently one of country’s top politicians Imran Khan and his TV journalist wife Reham got divorced, there have been speculations over the reasons of the same. There were even claims that Reham tried to poison Imran. But now Reham has come out and put all the speculations to rest with her sensational claim. According to her latest column in The Guardian, “nobody but they themselves” were responsible for the divorce. She has also lamented that everyone had a say in her married life and she felt the whole of Pakistan was her “sasural”. Read: Imran Khan tweets that reports of his marriage are exaggerated
Reham has said that even marrying “the strongest man in the land” could not protect her from a “barrage of abuse”. She feels that a poor, uneducated woman and she were both vulnerable to the same risks in Pakistan — suggesting the poor state of women in the troubled nation. Reham further added that she felt more secure and protected when she was unmarried. Read: Imran Khan and Reham divorce after 10 months of marriage
Imran and Reham announced their decision to split on October 30 this year amid reports that Imran objected to her meddling in politics. This was his second after his first marriage with English heiress Jemima Goldsmith for nine years ended in divorce in June, 2004. Reham had left a job on regional BBC news and moved back to Pakistan in 2013 to be with Imran, but the union sadly ended with a bitter divorce.
