Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan’s brand new wife, Reham Khan, 41, said she had been a victim of domestic violence while married to 54-year-old psychiatrist Dr Ijaz Rehman with whom she had three children, according to a Daily Mail reported.
‘Thanks to Allah, I am not scarred by my experience. Domestic violence is a big issue and no attention is paid to it in Pakistan. [It] happens in many shapes and forms,” Reham said.
“I have never spoken about my personal experience of domestic violence because I was in [the] media and I felt it would be unfair to expose the other party,” she added.
She also said that she was reluctant to accept Imran’s proposal because of what took place during her previous marriage, which ended in 2006 after 15 years.
“When I talked to my family about it, we all had the same reservations, especially because when you have been through such a horrendous experience.””When I talked to my brother about it, he had this only reservation — that [the domestic violence] wouldn’t be repeated.”
