Actress Mominah Iqbal secretly gets married

LAHORE: Close associate of an actress, Hamza Habib, has confirmed that he married Mominah Iqbal two days ago, saying the couple is now legally husband and wife and no longer engaged.

Speaking to the media outside the Lahore High Court during a hearing, Habib said, “Alhamdulillah, our nikah has taken place. Mominah Iqbal is now my legal wife,” adding that he would take all possible steps to protect her dignity and safety.

Separately, the Lahore High Court granted protective bail to Habib until June 1 and directed him to approach the relevant trial court. Police in Jhang have registered a case against him over allegations of issuing threats to a man identified as Saqib Chadhar.

Outside the court, Habib described the case as politically motivated and baseless, alleging he was being pressured. He further claimed that Chadhar had contacted him and offered financial incentives in exchange for separating from Mominah Iqbal.

Habib also expressed strong emotions about his marriage, referring to his wife in affectionate terms, a statement that quickly circulated on social media and prompted mixed reactions and congratulatory messages from fans.
