A Dhaka court on Monday fixed February 9 for hearing on framing charges against three people includin national team cricketer Nasir Hossain and his wife Tamima in a case filed over their ‘illegal marriage’.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Tofazzal Hossain fixed the date in presence of the three accused.
Kazi Najibullah Hiru, a counsel of Tamima and Nasir, said “Tamima divorced Rakib properly and it is the jurisdiction of
the local marriage registrar office to implement it. Besides, Sumi Akter, mother of Tamima, has no involvement in it.”
He also made a plea to exonerate all the accused from the charges. On December 20, 2021, a Dhaka court fixed January 24 for hearing on framing charges against the trio, reports UNB.
Earlier on October 31, 2021, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohamamd Jashim granted them bail when they surrendered before the court and sought bail in the case.
On September 30, last year, a report of Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) said the marriage between Nasir Hossain and Tamima Sultana is illegal as she is still wife of businessman Rakib Hasan.
PBI investigation officer Mizanur Rahman submitted the report before the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohamamd Jashim. Later the court asked cricketer Nasir, Tamima and Tamima’s mother Sumi Akhter to appear before it on October 31.
Tamima allegedly got married to cricketer Nasir without divorcing her husband Rakib Hasan.
