PTI confirms Imran Khan's marriage to Bushra Maneka in Lahore
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan married Bushra Maneka, a respected Pir [faith healer] in Pakpattan, in 'a simple ceremony' in Lahore on Sunday, the party's spokesperson told DawnNews.
Confirming Khan's third marriage, PTI spokesperson Fawad Chaudhary said that the ceremony was held at the residence of Bushra's brother.
Party leader Inamul Haq told DawnNews that only close relatives, including the bride's mother, and friends participated in the ceremony — Khan's sisters, however, were not in attendance. Mufti Saeed performed the nikah in the presence of Awn Chaudhary and Zulfi Bukhari who appeared as witnesses, said PTI members.
The ceremony was a low-profile one as per the desire of Imran Khan, Haq added. He expressed hope that Imran Khan's marriage would prove blessed not only for him and his wife but for the entire nation.
PTI leaders, including Naeemul Haque, Shireen Mazari, Jahangir Tareen, and Shah Mehmood Qureshi, congratulated Khan and his new wife on their marriage on Twitter.
Bushra Maneka is in her 40s, and belongs to the Wattoo clan, of which the Manekas are a sub-clan. Earlier, she was married to Khawar Farid Maneka, a senior customs official in Islamabad but parted ways in recent times.
The PTI chief has been married twice before. His first marriage was with Jemima Goldsmith, daughter of a British billionaire in 1995. The couple divorced in 2004.
Khan's second marriage to Reham Khan dissolved 10 months after a public ceremony had taken place in January, 2015.
Speculation around third marriage
The News in an article published in January claimed that Khan had married for the third time in a secret ceremony on January 1, saying that Mufti Saeed had performed the nikkah. PTI had originally refuted the claim, calling the speculation 'ridiculous'. A day later, however, the party had 'clarified' that Khan had only proposed marriage to Bushra Maneka.

Soon after, the party leader had also broken his silence on the speculation through a series of tweets, saying, 'My only crime is wanting to get married'. Khan, who has two sons from his first marriage, had also appealed to people to pray for his 'personal happiness'.

During an interview the same month, Khan had said: “I met Bushra [Maneka] almost two years ago. I will like to reiterate that every time I met her, with family and alone, she has been in purdah. My interest in her lies in the fact that I have not seen or met anyone with her level of spirituality.”
He had made it clear that he only sent the proposal for marriage after she divorced her husband.
Khan’s connection with the Manekas was confirmed by PTI leader Naeemul Haq in 2016 when rumours were doing the rounds that the PTI chief had married a UK-based relative of the family on the advice of his spiritual patron, Bushra Bibi, also known as Ms Pinki Pir.
Haq had then denied reports about Khan’s third marriage but confirmed in his tweet that his leader had “spiritual relationship” with the Maneka family.
A source close to the family had told Dawn that Khan first visited Bushra ahead of the NA-154 (Lodhran) by-poll in 2015 and was very pleased when Jahangir Tareen won the seat according to her prediction. Since then he has been visiting her regularly, the source had added.
Mumtaz Hayat Maneka, a young Aitchisonian from the Maneka clan, had said the PTI leader had a lot of reverence for Pinki Bibi as a true follower.

'My crime is wanting to get married': Imran breaks silence on reports of alleged third marriage
Photographs from the wedding of Imran Khan and former BBC weather reporter Reham Khan have been released, showing the happy couple dressed in their finest.
The pictures, released by opposition party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, show the pair in matching gold and cream outfits, celebrating their marriage.
They have only recently confirmed the wedding following reports in the local press, with Mr Khan, 62, telling journalists at Heathrow airport he was a married man once again .
His bride, a former BBC weather presenter, is a 41-year-old divorced mother-of-three who moved back to her native Pakistan in 2013 and began working for television channels there.
The nuptials, an Islamic wedding ritual known as a nikah, are thought to have taken place several weeks ago, and were overseen by Mufti Saeed, a wealthy Islamic scholar who was arrested following the failed 1995 coup plot by Islamic militants within the Pakistan Army.

After much speculation about the wedding, the couple have now released a selection of photographs showing the ceremony at his home in Islamabad, Pakistan.
One shows the pair outside a house under blue skies, smiling for the camera, while another shows them sitting indoors side by side.
Mr Khan's ex-wife, Jemima Goldsmith, has already sent her public good wishes for the marriage, saying: 'I hope Imran will be happy in this new phase of his life.'
A spokeswoman for Mr Khan said the couple had married in an Islamic ceremony before a handful of witnesses.
'There are no wedding or valima receptions,' Shireen Mazari said. 'Tomorrow food will be distributed amongst poor children.'

Khan wore a cream-coloured Sherwani, the national dress of Pakistan, while Reham wore an off-white Peshwaz dress with red brocade border.
Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) party won the third largest number of seats in the 2013 elections and governs the northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
He had first announced his intention to wed shortly after he began a movement to topple the government last August, which he called off last month in the aftermath of a Taliban attack on a school that killed 150 people.
