Sania Ashfaq, the former wife of Pakistani cricketer Imad Wasim, has made a series of fresh allegations about their marriage, divorce and family life, claiming she faced emotional distress, family pressure and coercion during their relationship.
Speaking in a recent interview, Sania, who is currently living in the United Kingdom as a single mother with her three children, shared details about her marriage and its eventual breakdown.
She said she first met Imad Wasim online and described him as kind, caring and supportive during the early stages of their relationship. According to her, the couple later married, after which she left the UK and moved to Pakistan, distancing herself from her family and friends.
Sania alleged that their relationship changed after marriage due to increasing interference from Imad’s family. She claimed his behaviour would change whenever he was with family members and that they consistently supported him during disagreements.
She said her first pregnancy was a happy period for the couple and recalled that they performed Umrah together in 2024. However, she claimed that difficulties emerged during her second pregnancy, prompting her to keep the news hidden for some time because of previous pressure related to terminating a pregnancy.
According to Sania, tensions escalated after Imad informed his mother about the pregnancy. She alleged that family disputes intensified and eventually led to serious marital conflict.
She further claimed that she felt isolated throughout the marriage because her own family remained in the UK. Sania also alleged that she received threats during her pregnancy and said the situation continued to deteriorate.
Sania claimed that Imad later proposed relocating to the UK so the family could start a new life together. She said she agreed, believing their relationship could improve. However, she alleged that after arriving in Britain, Imad informed her through legal representatives that he intended to end the marriage before leaving her at her mother’s home.
She said she endured months of emotional distress while trying to save the marriage and claimed she continued receiving legal correspondence during that period.
Sania also alleged that she supported Imad during a difficult period in his life and remained committed to the relationship despite ongoing challenges.
Discussing one of the most emotional moments of her interview, Sania claimed that Imad had arranged a medical appointment related to terminating her pregnancy. She alleged that although a doctor allowed him to hear the unborn baby’s heartbeat, he still insisted on proceeding with the abortion.
According to her, she was three months pregnant at the time. She claimed she was given an injection, lost consciousness and later discovered that the pregnancy had been terminated.
Sania said the incident remains the most painful experience of her life and that she does not believe she will ever be able to forgive it. She added that her main focus now is raising her children and praying for their success and well-being.
