“The ceremony was attended by Fatima’s loved ones in our grandfather’s library, a place that means a lot to my dear sister. Due to the difficult circumstances felt by our fellow countrymen and women, we all felt it would be inappropriate to celebrate lavishly.”
He also called for prayers for the couple.
The event was reportedly a private affair, with only close friends and family in attendance. The bride and groom have not yet made a public statement about their wedding.

The Bhutto family has a long history in Pakistani politics, with several members serving as prime ministers or playing key roles in the Pakistan People’s Party. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto himself was executed in 1979 after being overthrown in a military coup.
Despite her family’s political legacy, Fatima Bhutto has largely avoided the political spotlight, focusing instead on her career as a writer and activist who has been critical of Pakistan’s traditional political system.
Fatima, who was born on May 29, 1982, is the author of several books, including “Songs of Blood and Sword,” a memoir about her family’s turbulent political history, and “The Shadow of the Crescent Moon,” a novel about the lives of people in a small Pakistani town near the Afghan border.
She has written articles and essays for various international publications, including The Guardian, The Financial Times, and The New York Times, in addition to her books[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
