Novelist and Granddaughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Fatima Bhutto ties the knot on Friday in an intimate ceremony in Karachi. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Junior shared the images of the Nikkah ceremony of his sister Fatima Bhutto on Twitter.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto said that the Nikkah ceremony was organized at their Clifton residence 70 Clifton in Karachi in the presence of close family members and friends. The event was kept simple keeping in view the economic conditions of the country. Fatima has tied the knot with Graham.
“On behalf of our father, Shaheed Mir Murtaza Bhutto, and the Bhutto family, I’m very happy to share some happy news. My sister Fatima and Graham were married in an intimate nikkah ceremony yesterday at our home, 70 Clifton,” said Bhutto in his tweet.
The ceremony was attended by Fatima’s loved ones in our grandfather’s library, a place that means a lot to my dear sister. Due to the difficult circumstances felt by our fellow countrymen and women, we all felt it would be inappropriate to celebrate lavishly.
