KARACHI: Author and activist Fatima Bhutto has tied the knot in Karachi, her younger brother artist Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Jr announced on Friday evening.

Fatima, the daughter of the late Murtaza Bhutto and granddaughter of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, married Graham on Thursday in what her brother called “an intimate nikkah ceremony” at their Clifton home.

“The ceremony was attended by Fatima’s loved ones in our grandfather’s library, a place that means a lot to my dear sister,” he tweeted.

“Due to the difficult circumstances felt by our fellow countrymen and women, we all felt it would be inappropriate to celebrate lavishly.

“Please keep Fatima and Graham (Gibran) in your prayers,” he stated.

Fatima and Zulfikar raised money for flood victims by auctioning experiences this past year.

They were vocal in their calls for help for people affected by the floods and Zulfikar was praised for his anti-feudalism stance after a speech at the Sindh Moorat March.
