Former Pakistan Cricketer turned Politician Marries ex-BBC Weather Girl Reham Khan Thursday Jan 08,2015

 

Imran Khan has finally married ex-BBC weather girl Reham Khan at a low-key wedding ceremony in Pakistan after weeks of speculation - but not a single member of his family was invited.

 

A close friend of the cricketer-turned-politician announced he had tied the knot with the divorced mother-of-three at his home in Islamabad earlier today Thursday Jan 08,2015, in accordance with Islamic law.

Imran Khan's sisters did not attend the 'nikkah' - Islamic marriage ceremony - amid reports they do not approve of the match. Aleema Khan said: 'We were neither aware nor informed of the nikkah prior to this.'

However the bride's mother, sister and two close friends were all present for the intimate ceremony, according to her nephew Yusuf Khan.

He said: 'I am very close to her, she is like my mother. We have decided to hold a small reception tomorrow. There were only a few close friends of Imran Khan present at the occasion. 

'The majority of our family lives in UK and USA and that is the reason only my mother, grandmother and I attended it from close family.'

Imran Khan's spokesman said the wedding was kept small to honour the 145 victims of the terrorist attack on a school in Peshawar last month, in which 132 children died

Jemima Goldsmith, the ex-wife of Imran Khan, has offered her congratulations to the former cricketer 'on this new phase in his life' after he announced his marriage to a former BBC weather girl
