Farzana Begum says Pakistani man who married her lying about divorce.

The Indian woman Farzana Begum, whose husband is Pakistani, is accused of torturing her. She stated that she had no desire to go back to her own country.

Mumbai-born Indian national Farzana Begum is now battling for custody of her children in Pakistan. She has refused to go back to her home country, claiming that her children's safety is at risk.

In 2015, Farzana Begum wed Mirza Mubin Elahi, a Pakistani national, in Abu Dhabi.

Subsequently, in 2018, the couple moved to Pakistan; they now have two sons, ages six and seven.

After Farzana allegedly abused her husband over a disagreement over her sons' custody and some properties registered in their names, her case came to light.

In response to her husband's assertions that he had divorced her, Farzana said, "If he has divorced me, then there must be a certificate."

"A property dispute in Pakistan is endangering the lives of me and my children. My children are going hungry since I am restricted to my home in Rehman Gardens, Lahore," the woman remarked.

Refusing to return to her home country without her sons, Farzana pleaded with the Pakistani government to protect her until the matter was settled.

"Some properties in Lahore are under my sons' names." My children's and my passports are in the hands of my spouse," she continued.

Mubin Elahi's second wife is Farzana.

Farzana claims that Elahi is planning to use her Pakistani wife and kids as leverage to force her to return to India and seize assets that she claims are her two sons'.

"Mubin Elahi is spreading false rumours that Farzana's visa has expired even though her passport is in his possession," stated Farzana's attorney, advocate Mohsin Abbas.

Since Farzana refuses to leave without her sons and is unsure of the status of her visa, the situation has become the talk of the town.

Farzana declared, "I would never go back to India without my sons."

Elahi has remained silent and hasn't stated where he stands on the subject, in contrast to Farzana, who has been outspoken about it.

Farzana also denies her husband's claim that she tortured him, saying Elahi is fabricating stories to deflect attention from the real problem—which is her sons' custody and ownership of their assets in Pakistan.

"I am aware that Elahi is holding up the procedure in order to ensure that my visa expires and I am compelled to depart Pakistan. However, I refuse to depart without my sons," Farzana declared.
