Folk singer Sanam Marvi files for ‘khula’

Pakistani folk singer Sanam Marvi has filed for khula (divorce) from husband Hamid Ali, Geo News reported.

Marvi filed for khula (woman’s right to divorce) in the family court of Lahore.

In the petition, the singer stated that she got married to Hamid Ali in 2009, but after sometime her husband’s attitude towards her changed. 

“Hamid started abusing and torturing me in front of the children. I tolerated abuse from my husband for the sake of my kids,” she said.

Marvi requested the court to issue the khula decree as she cannot live with her husband anymore.

It may be noted here that Sanam Marvi got married to Hamid Ali in 2009 after her former husband Aftab Ahmed was killed in Karachi the same year.

Sanam and Hamid share three children together.
