Disabled man protest against lawyers

After the ruling by the court, the wheelchair-bound Akhtar Azam of Morder in Mulkhow came out of the courtroom and started shouting at the lawyers of his ex-wife for what he said rendering his three small children orphans. He alleged that on his protest, the lawyers of his ex-wife also manhandled him in the middle of the road. Azam continued sitting on the road along with his children and was later persuaded by the local people to go home. It may be noted that in 2001 Akhtar Azam entered into a love marriage with Ms Fouzia of Muzgol. A few years ago, however, Azam fell from the wall of his house and got both his legs paralyzed. After he became disabled, his wife left her and sought Khula from the court of law which was pending adjudication. On Tuesday, the court announced its verdict and gave Khula to the woman. The couple have three children. A lawyer told ChitralToday that under the law, a woman can move a court and take divorce from her husband. ]]>
