Dr Nabiha Ali Khan’s khula case sparks online debate

Psychologist and media personality Dr Nabiha Ali Khan has once again found herself at the centre of public attention

Psychologist and media personality Dr Nabiha Ali Khan has once again found herself at the centre of public attention after reports emerged that she has filed for khula from her husband, Haris Khokhar, following months of marital disputes.

According to reports, Dr Nabiha approached a family court to seek the dissolution of her marriage. A video circulating on social media, which allegedly shows her signing legal documents related to the khula proceedings, has gone viral and triggered widespread discussion online.

Reports claim that Dr Nabiha decided to pursue khula after allegedly experiencing mental and physical abuse as well as continued mistreatment during her marriage. Meanwhile, it has also been reported that Haris Khokhar has initiated divorce proceedings by sending the first divorce notice.

The couple’s relationship has remained in the public eye since their marriage. Dr Nabiha and Haris Khokhar, who were long-time friends, solemnised their nikah in November 2025. Their marriage has since been marked by several public disagreements that frequently attracted attention on social media.

Earlier this year, the couple announced that they had reconciled after a period of separation. However, the latest developments suggest that their relationship has once again broken down, leading to legal proceedings.

The news has generated mixed reactions across social media platforms. While many users expressed sympathy for the couple and hoped they would find peace, others questioned why details of their personal lives repeatedly become public discussions.

Some social media users also pointed to Dr Nabiha’s previous public statements in support of men’s issues, saying the current situation has sparked debate because of her well-known views on relationships and family matters. Others argued that personal experiences should not be used to judge an individual’s earlier opinions and stressed that every marital dispute is unique.

Neither Dr Nabiha Ali Khan nor Haris Khokhar has issued a detailed public statement addressing the latest legal proceedings. As discussions continue online, many users have called for respecting the privacy of both individuals while allowing the legal process to take its course.
