A couple refused to take custody of their children as a family court dissolved their marriage on Friday.
Nazia Bukhari, resident of Khuda Bakhsh Colony filed for dissolution of her marriage in the family court. She said she had married Zaheer Ahmed on May 8, 2009 and had two children with him, Amina, more than a year old, and 4-month old Ali. She said that her husband had illicit relationships with other women and was seeing his former spouse. Bukhari added that Ahmed regularly beat her. She said he had recently kicked her out of their home.
On Friday, Ahmed brought both children to the court. Ahmed told Bukhari to take the children as he could not take care of them. The mother responded that she was also unable to care for the children. Both said they no longer wanted to live together. Bukhari was adamant that the children would not go with her so Ahmed ended up taking the children back with him.
