Meera is still Ateequeur Rahman’s lawfully wedded wife, court rules

After Meera appealed against a court ruling which declared the actor to be Ateequeur Rehman’s lawfully wedded wife, her request has been denied. Meera had stated in her appeal that she is not Attique’s wife, and that the Nikkah papers being used to prove otherwise are fake. She further added that he forged the documents to defame the actor. The appeal had been in process for the past three years, with the court finally reaching a decision, ruling in Attique’s favour. 

In 2018, after a nine-year-long legal battle, Lahore’s family court ruled Meera to be the wife of Sheikh Attiqueur Rahman. The court had dismissed the actor's petition to bar Attique from calling her his wife previously as well.

In the earlier verdict, judge Babar Nadeem said that the Nikkahnama between Meera and Attique is authentic. This means that the two were, in fact, married. The court also stated that all the pictures and other evidence provided to the court were valid and the two were legally married.

It must be noted that earlier Meera told the court that the Nikkahnama and pictures were forged. However, the court rejected her claims. According to the 18-page judgement, Meera and Attique tied the knot in 2007, after which the couple also went on a honeymoon. In 2013, Meera also alleged that she was married to Captain Naveed.
