| Justice Bashir A Mujahid of the Lahore High Court granted interim bail to a woman named Nasim Akhtar who married of her own choice but was booked in a Hudood case. The court directed her to approach the trial court for confirmation of the bail. Nasim, through her counsel Faisal Malik, said her first husband had divorced her and she and her four children lived with her brothers Iqbal and Ramzan. The latter was a former Punjab Assembly member from Kalur Kot. She said her brothers mistreated her and she married Liaqat for the sake of her children's future. Nasim said her brothers disapproved of the marriage and lodged a Hudood case against her with Jandanwala police. |
