LAHORE, 31 October, 2026 (Ghufran): Renowned Pakistani actor Moammar Rana and his wife, Mehnaz, have ended their nearly 28-year marriage after a family court in Lahore granted her a decree of khula, bringing their long-standing relationship to a close. Family Court Judge Zahid Bashir issued the decree in Mehnaz’s favour after hearing arguments from her lawyer, Khadija Siddiqui. The couple married on October 24, 1998, when Rana was at the height of his acting career, and have two daughters together. According to the divorce petition, Mehnaz alleged that her husband physically assaulted her and verbally abused her after consuming alcohol. She further claimed that he repeatedly used abusive language in front of their daughters, causing them emotional distress. The petition also alleged that Rana failed to contribute to household expenses and did not change his behaviour despite repeated efforts by family members to intervene. Mehnaz told the court that she could no longer continue living with her husband and sought dissolution of the marriage through khula, which the court subsequently granted. The development comes amid controversies surrounding the actor in recent years, including reports of alcohol-related incidents and professional difficulties. In an earlier interview, Rana reportedly disclosed that he had undergone rehabilitation for alcohol addiction and acknowledged that his marriage was facing serious difficulties. The court’s ruling brings an end to the couple’s marriage after almost three decades together.
