Actress Veena Malik and her husband, Asad Khattak are parting ways after a little over three years of marriage.

Malik filed a plea in a Lahore court on January 6, 2017 for a khula (dissolution of marriage) from her husband, which was issued in favour of the actress on January 31, 2017.

Order passed by the Family court pronouncing the dissolution of marriage between Veena and her husband.

"According to the court, three notices are sent to the defendant to present himself before the court, if he fails to do so (which Asad did in this case) then the court issues an order in favour of the plaintiff (Veena)," the actor's lawyer, Ali Ahmad told DawnNews.

"Veena's reason for the dissolution of marriage is that Asad changed after marriage, his personality became 'complicated' and his demeanour became negative," he added.

The court has given a unilateral decision because of Khattak's unavailability. "The couple have 90 days to reconcile and if the defendant still fails to show up in court the divorce will not be reversible," shared the lawyer.

Veena's father, Malik Aslam revealed that even though Asad was a partner in his business, "he was not as financially stable" and that the couple "had a lot of problems."

"We all tried for three years to make things right, including Veena. When controversies regarding her shoot in an Indian publication came out, I was the first one to support her and stand up against what was being said to her and this time I am with her, the decision (for a khula) she made was right and I stand by her."

He said: "Even though their marriage has ended, my relation with Asad will remain the way it was, like a son and a business partner."

The couple got married in Dubai on December 25 in 2013, they have two children. According to the father, Veena will have custody of the children as she is the mother, however this will not impact the relation the children share with their father.

They were nice couple. Failure of any relationship is painful and that too when you have kids.

If Asad is financially unstable then as business partner Veena's father must be financially unstable too. If that is the case did Veena and her father not realize all of this before the marriage?

She tried and having a divorce is not a fail. The only fail will be if they do not give their children the right to have both in their lives but from the information leaked or given by the family it seems that both will be in the live of their children. Peace!

Normally it is not easy for strong women to quit her career in show business after marriage . The women have to quit altogether to devote herself fully into their marital life and this mostly causes friction if they cannot make transition.

Matrimonial life is not a joy neither it is based on Financial stability it is true money is necessary for bread n butter but fulfil all necessities of human being is possible with blessing of God. And there is always an option that always exist.but sorry to say kids growth will really suffer and their personalities. It is very bad.

Marriage is always considered a union of like minds that should create understanding in mutual coexistence for happiness. But, if it marriage becomes insurmountable problem making the life painful and sour, it must be ended as per customs in vogue.

To the best of my recollection, under New York law, marriage is defined as an emotional and financial partnership. If the financial aspect of the marriage fails the marriage flounders and eventually ends in a divorce. A happy marriage nourishes the children in wholesome ways, however, an unhappy marriage can do more harm than good to children. Good luck to Veena and Asad!

Don't ignore as before please! I blame her and her father and not the husband for separation. Whatever differences the couple had between them yet the whole world knew that they were husband and wife and they must have continued alike but now they are exposed to public which I personally regret very much. Both kids will be under great mental agony and stress for none of their fault to be severed from the person who fathered them. Don't marry but if you marry then do not part away.

Compatibility and mind understanding two distinct qualities must for any two individuals to stay together. Pakistani males as I have commented are raised with ego and the protector of the rest causes issues in their marital lives if females are well educated. Better to separate than stay together also good for children in the end.

I live in the west and see divorces every day. The ultimate victims are the children. First, children don't get the true parental love and second, due to neglect they get into drugs and other bad habits. Parental supervision and love are very important in the growth and development of a child. Due to the separation of their parents, kids lack emotional maturity and it has a negative impact on their lives. They grow as mentally disturbed kids and take drugs and some them end up as criminals. Therefore, it is very important to for parents to understand the consequences of their action on their kids' lives

Celebrities should think hard before having children in this time and age. Most of their marriages end up in divorce and while these folks end up finding new partners, children are the ones who end up suffering the most. It is more prevalent in the Western society, but Pakistan is not too far behind.

When Veena got married with Asad she knew his financial situation but when Asad got broke it doest mean break up the marriage . Money is not every thing and days are never be same . She should realise and sacrifice and get back to him and trying to resolve it for the sake of her daughter if she is wise enough.
