LAHORE: Lahore High Court Justice Nasim Sabir has summoned the lawyer of a man on a petition filed by his mother charging him with marrying his wife's sister without divorcing her [the sister, not the mother] first. The court asked the petitioner, Hakim, and the lawyer of her son, Abdul Ghani, to appear in court on August 24. The judge stated that according to Sharia and Pakistani law, a man could not marry his sister-in-law unless his wife had died or he had divorced her and a person could be charged with adultery if this law was violated. The petitioner asked the court to provide her and other family members protection from Mr Ghani because she feared her son might murder them for approaching the court.

Mr Ghani's first wife also appeared with her mother and said her husband had not divorced her and asked that a criminal case be registered against that rat bastard her husband and the selfish bitch sister. |
