Twitter weighs in on Imran Khan's third attempt to find 'personal happiness' in marriage

It wasn't exactly unexpected, but Twitter still won't leave him alone
Updated 19 Feb, 2018

Rumours about Imran Khan's desire to marry a third time have been circulating for several months now.

But last night PTI made it official: the political party announced that its chief wed Bushra Maneka, a respected Pir [faith healer] in "a simple ceremony" in Lahore on Sunday.

Imran Khan has previously taken to Twitter to express his thoughts about marrying again, most notably this thread in January 2018:

On the one had is that great lady Asma Jahangir who being of similar age as Khan has left behind a legacy and departed and on the other hand is this craze for marrying which has taken precedence over other important things.
