Emaan Fatima seeks child support and dowry from Rajab Butt

Emaan Fatima, the former wife of Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt, has approached a Lahore court seeking financial support for herself and their son, Kivan Rajab Butt, following their separation. She has also requested the return of dowry articles allegedly provided by her parents at the time of their wedding.

The latest legal development has brought renewed attention to the couple’s marital dispute, which has remained a major topic of discussion on social media. Emaan has filed a petition seeking monthly maintenance for their son, personal financial support, and the recovery of dowry items that she claims have not been returned by Rajab Butt’s family.

According to the petition, Emaan’s parents provided dowry articles worth Rs. 8,792,500 for the wedding. She has alleged that these belongings remain with Rajab Butt’s family and has asked the court to order their return.

The petition also raises concerns about the financial responsibilities of the couple towards their young son. Emaan has claimed that Rajab Butt has not provided financial maintenance for Kivan and has requested that the court direct him to pay a monthly allowance for the child’s upbringing.

She has sought Rs. 500,000 per month for Kivan, starting from November 2025 and continuing until he reaches adulthood. The requested amount is intended to cover the child’s financial needs as he grows up.

In addition to the maintenance requested for her son, Emaan has sought Rs. 200,000 per month for her personal expenses. Her petition reportedly points to Rajab Butt’s status as a well-known social media personality who earns substantial amounts through his online activities.

The court has issued a notice to Rajab Butt in connection with the petition and directed him to submit his response by October 23. The matter is expected to proceed through the legal system as both sides address the claims and requests presented before the court.

Emaan and Rajab Butt married in December 2024 and welcomed their son, Kivan Rajab Butt, during their relationship. However, their marriage later faced difficulties, and the couple separated in 2025.

Their relationship has attracted considerable public attention because of their popularity on social media. Developments surrounding their personal lives have frequently become subjects of online discussion, with followers closely watching updates about their marriage and subsequent legal disputes.

Despite having a child together, the couple reportedly failed to resolve their differences and reunite. Rajab Butt has previously expressed that he does not wish to reconcile with his former wife, while Emaan has reportedly made efforts to repair their relationship.

According to statements attributed to Rajab Butt, the divorce has now been finalised. The legal proceedings concerning financial maintenance and the return of dowry articles, however, remain separate matters that require attention from the court.

The latest petition focuses on financial obligations following the couple’s separation, particularly the support required for their son. Child maintenance cases generally involve considering the child’s needs and the financial circumstances of the parents, while claims concerning dowry articles may require the court to examine the evidence presented by the parties.

For now, Rajab Butt has been asked to respond to the petition by the specified date. The court’s notice does not mean that the claims have been proven or that a final decision has been made.

The proceedings will determine how the court addresses Emaan Fatima’s requests for child maintenance, personal expenses, and the return of the alleged dowry articles. Further developments may clarify the financial arrangements and legal responsibilities between the former couple.
