Partly Facetious: what about a Las Vegas in Murree?

"So what does fraud mean in respect to marriage."
Published September 22, 2005

"So what does fraud mean in respect to marriage."
"I guess marriage under false pretensions. I mean the boy's family may claim wealth that is just not there, or a position that does not belong to the boy. I don't know. Fraud can come in many shapes and sizes."
"You seem to feel strongly about it."
"I do. I mean imagine getting married to a fraud! It must be a horrendous experience."
"Indeed it must."
"I mean in an arranged marriage one doesn't know for sure especially if the boy is from another city. I mean how do average people determine whether the guy they are getting their daughter married to is what he says he is."
"That's true but I wasn't talking about a marriage here."
"Oh, where then?"
"The marriage of the actress Renee Zellweiger four moths ago. She cited fraud as a reason for divorce, sorry annulment."
"I don't know what she could have meant by it."
"Apparently neither does she. When asked she said I would personally be very grateful for your support in refraining from drawing derogatory, hurtful, sensationalised or untrue conclusions. We hope to experience this transition as privately as possible."
"That's sweet. And what did he say?"
"Chesney echoed her sentiment and said I just hope everyone can respect the privacy I know Renee has already asked for."
"So as they say in Urdu if Mian Biwi Razi, Kya Kare Ga Kazi."
"That's a reversal, right."
"What?"
"If Mian Biwi Razi, Kya Kare Ga annulment judge."
"Do we have an annulment clause in our laws."
"Don't know. You know Britney Spears' first marriage lasted 55 hours and all she needed to say was she lacked understanding of her actions."
"Yep, that is allowed under Las Vegas law."
"That's the place to get married then."
"Or divorced or have your marriage annulled."
"Indeed. We need a Las Vegas."
"Why not declare Murree as our Las Vegas. No trees and all very modern."
