The Lahore High Court (LHC) has adjourned hearing against fashion model Khushbakht Mirza, alias Sofia Mirza, for November 21 in a petition filed by her ex husband seeking custody of his twin daughters, as petitioner counsel sought time for short adjournment.
Petitioner Umar Farooq submitted that he contracted love marriage with Mirza on February 16, 2006 and had twin daughters from this wedlock. He submitted after marriage he realised that Sofia had married to him with an object of extorting money from him. She also tried to commit theft from his Dubai house and attempted to murder him, he alleged in the petition. Petitioner said after the birth of minors she started to blackmail and harass him.
He said he moved a petition under Guardian and Wards Act for the custody of minors. But the guardian court without seeking his reply disposed of the petition and handed over the custody of minor to their mother.
He said that the mother of the minors being busy in show business had no time to look after the minors and they were left on the mercy of servants. Therefore, interim custody of the minors should be given to him, petitioner prayed to the court.
