LAHORE: A family court on Tuesday dismissed two applications filed by a man claiming to be the husband of film actor Meera and disputing her suit for jactitation of marriage.
Judge Masood Akhtar Kiyani dismissed Attiqur Rehman’s pleas that a test be carried out to ascertain if the actor was a virgin, and that it be determined who owned the house that she was living in.
Rehman claimed that the house belonged to him. The main case will resume on May 28, when Meera’s father and mother are to testify.
The actor says that Rehman is trying to gain publicity and the pictures and marriage certificate he produced in court are fake.

Why did such stupid & absurd case even find its way in the courtroom, i am sure there are far more relevant and important cases for the Judiciary to be engaged with, in view of the backlog!!!!!!Recommend
So she has been done ;) Recommend
Yes Sanity prevails which is quite insane for this nation to be honestRecommend
I dont know who Meera is ….but she should file a case against the person who demanded the test in the first place..its so demeaning for any womanRecommend
Every women has a respect…………..shame on atiq ur rehmanRecommend
haha… I didn’t even know that such a test existed..
Even then… it should be allowed to be demanded by someone else. Very rightly held by the court…Recommend
