Court summons cricketer Nasir, his wife
PBC News: A court in Dhaka has summoned three persons, including cricketer Nasir Hossain and his wife Tamima Sultana Tammi, following an arrest warrant petition filed earlier.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Jasim issued the summon on Thursday after an arrest warrant plea against them was filed.
Earlier in the morning, Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) submitted the investigation report, saying that the marriage of cricketer Nasir and Tamima Sultana was not legal. Later, Tamima’s first husband Rakib Hasan filed the arrest warrant petition.
Lawyer Ishrat Jahan stood on behalf of Rakib.
According to the PBI’s investigation report, Tamima did not divorce Rakib, her first husband. Rakib did not get any legal notice on the issue. Moreover, Tamima made a fake notice and provided it in different ways.
As per Muslim law, it is a crime and punishable to marry someone before divorcing the first husband.
In this circumstances, cricketer Nasir and Tamima Tammi’s marriage is illegal, the report said.
