Pakistan army chief marries daughter to nephew
Islamabad: Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Asim Munir, reportedly solemnized his daughter Mahnoor’s wedding in a highly private ceremony on December 26, 2025, at his official residence near the Army Headquarters in Rawalpindi. The event was kept strictly confidential, with no official photographs released, reportedly due to security concerns.
According to reports, Munir married his daughter to his nephew, Captain (Retd.) Abdul Rahman, making the wedding a closely knit family affair. This was the marriage of Munir’s third daughter out of four.
Nephew Becomes Son-in-Law
Abdul Rahman, now Munir’s son-in-law, previously served as a Captain in the Pakistan Army and is currently working as an Assistant Commissioner in Pakistan’s civil services.
The marriage has sparked discussion in political and military circles, with some viewing it as a personal family decision, while others interpret it as a move reinforcing family ties within influential power structures.
Who Attended the Wedding?
Despite the secrecy, several high-profile personalities were reportedly present at the ceremony, including:
Some reports also claimed that UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan attended the wedding. However, this could not be officially confirmed, although he was reportedly visiting Pakistan on the same day.
Why Was the Wedding Kept So Private?
General Asim Munir has gained significant public visibility in recent months and maintains a growing presence in the media. The extreme secrecy surrounding the wedding has therefore surprised many.
Analysts suggest that security concerns may have driven the decision, as the Pakistani military remains a frequent target of militant groups such as the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA).
It is also believed that official photographs may be released after all wedding-related ceremonies are completed.
