Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan married his spiritual adviser Bushra Maneka, thereby putting an end to speculation about his marital status.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief got hitched in a private ceremony attended by close friends and relatives, and photographs from the event show his new bride in full veil.
Bushra is said to be in her 40s and she is a well-known faith healer and spiritual adviser. She was previously married to Khawar Farid Maneka, a senior customs official in Islamabad, and has five children from that marriage.
Khan was previously married to British socialite Jemima Goldsmith and television presenter Reham Khan.
Khan's new marriage has created quite a stir on Twitter, with trolls creating a number of memes.

Although Maneka will stay away from politics, several people feel Khan's new marriage might adversely affect his political career considering the senate and general elections in Pakistan are just around the corner.
"I wonder how and when does he get time for politics. He seems to be too busy in [his] personal life at a time when he should be focused in winning the trust of the public due to upcoming elections,” Maria Haider, a university student, was quoted as saying by the Gulf News.
Pointing out the disadvantages faced by Khan's PTI, Adnan Rasool, PhD in Political Science at Georgia State University, told the publication: “The PTI lacks two things at this stage. Firstly, they lack discipline and secondly, they lack the understanding of local politics.”
