  • Ishaq Dar: Wazir-e-Kharja Se Deputy Wazir-e-Azam Tak Ka Safar

    Ishaq Dar: Wazir-e-Kharja Se Deputy Wazir-e-Azam Tak Ka Safar

    According to a surprising notification issued by the Cabinet Division on April 28, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has been appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister of the country, a position not recognised in the Constitution.

    Dar was appointed as the country’s foreign minister after the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) formed a coalition government after the general elections this year.

    Historically, there is only one person who held the same position as Dar does now – Pervaiz Elahi in 2012 after Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) allied with the then-ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP).

    Interestingly, X (formerly Twitter) users pointed out that the constitution of Pakistan makes no mention or reference to “deputy prime minister” at all.

    Predictably, people on social media had some things to say about Dar’s new appointment.

  • Marrying wife’s sister not allowed during iddat, rules Lahore High Court

    Marrying wife’s sister not allowed during iddat, rules Lahore High Court

    Lahore High Court (LHC) has ruled that a man cannot marry the sister of his former wife during her iddat period.

    Justice Tariq Saleem Sheikh from the province’s high court issued this order while hearing a case filed by Sabir Ali, who in August 2023, accused his brother-in-law, Musawir Hussain, of having two sisters as his wives.

    Hussain claimed that he married his wife’s sister nine days after divorcing his wife, reports The Express Tribune.

    In a 11-page long verdict, Justice Sheikh elaborated that according to Islamic jurisprudence and the country’s law, a man cannot marry two sisters simultaneously.

    Resultantly, the court ruled that marrying the sister of one’s former wife before the completion of the iddat of his first wife is equivalent to simultaneously marrying two sisters. It is because a woman remains married to a man until the completion of the iddat period, as per Islamic jurisprudence and the decisions of the Federal Sharia Court.

    The verdict also pointed out that during the investigation, Musawir Hussain did not provide authenticated documents regarding his divorce.

    The court declared that marrying the sister of one’s former wife before the completion of the iddat period of the first wife would be punishable.

    It is mandatory for the husband and wife to separate as soon as they become aware of the invalid marriage. If they fail to do so, it is the responsibility of the judge to annul their marriage, the court noted.

  • King Charles’ cancer diagnosis leads to funeral-plan update

    King Charles’ cancer diagnosis leads to funeral-plan update

    Following a cancer diagnosis revealed earlier this year, King Charles III’s funeral arrangements are being regularly updated, Samaa has quoted a The New Zealand Herald report.

    The plans for the funeral for the monarch were planned the day after the late Queen Elizabeth was laid to rest in 2022, as is the usual case in British government.

    A royal commentator told the publication that “Everyone is staying optimistic, but he is really unwell.” The King, however, has been out and about in public, looking more or less the same.

    Operation Menai Bridge

    Assistants to King Charles III are always pouring over copies of his official funeral plans, also called ‘Operation Menai Bridge‘. The document was drafted on September 8, 2022, the day after Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, and is hundreds of pages long.

    Every member of the monarchy has their funeral arrangements set, which are named after well-known bridges and updated on a regular basis. The plan for the Queen’s funeral was known as “Operation London Bridge”.

    An aide told local media, “It’s not an emotional thing, it’s a job, one taken very seriously, and understandably no one plans to get caught out.”

    This February, King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer. Last month, he was seen mingling with bystanders and shaking hands following an Easter service at Windsor Castle. He also met Prime Minister Rishi Sunak this week, looking normal in the photos released by the Palace.

    One person on Instagram said Azhar copied Taylor Swift’s style on social media. Azhar replied, “Many other artists have done similar things before her worldwide.” He added, “But yes, I love her too,” showing he’s not bothered by the comment. Azhar’s clear response showed he’s straightforward and not afraid to admit he’s a fan of other artists.

    Azhar’s reply shows how tricky it can be to handle social media in the music world. It’s normal for artists to get ideas from famous stars like Swift. But they also need to find a balance between showing respect and being original.

    Sonya Hussyn respects Sher Afzal Marwat for rejecting second marriage

    Lawyer and MNA Sher Afzal Marwat, the popular PTI leader, has been praised for standing up against family pressure. He refused to marry again just to have a son. Many people on social media praised Marwat for his decision, including actor Sonya Hussyn.

    “In our tough world, I really admire this man,” wrote the Saraab actor in an Instagram post. “He knows how important it is to be kind and to follow the basic rules of relationships.”

    Thinking about what Marwat said, Hussyn felt sad about how society always wants a son. “Getting married just to have a son is really unfair,” she said. But she praised Marwat for being loyal to his wife. She said his strong commitment and family values would protect his daughters from future problems. “By making this choice, he not only did right by his wife but also kept his daughters safe from a lifetime of sadness,” she wrote. “I’m sure his daughters will make him very proud one day.” Hussyn finished her post by saying, “Respect, sir.”

    Earlier this week, Marwat had told Nadir Hussain’s podcast that his family wanted him to marry again to have a son. However, Marwat said he couldn’t do that to his wife. “I couldn’t bring another woman into our lives just to have a child,” he had stated in the podcast. “Like everyone else, a woman has just one life. She has basically burned everything in her life just to start a new life with you.”
