Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir’s daughter, Mahnoor, tied the knot on December 26 in Rawalpindi in a quiet ceremony held at the Pakistan Army Headquarters. She married her first cousin, Abdul Rehman — the son of Munir’s brother. Despite the presence of top political and military leaders, the event was kept low-profile, and no official photographs were released.
Among the notable attendees were President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, the ISI chief, and several retired generals and former army chiefs.
Abdul Rehman, Munir’s nephew, previously served as a captain in the Pakistan Army before entering the civil services through a quota for military officers. He currently works as an assistant commissioner.
According to journalist Zahid Gishkori, around 400 guests attended, but strict security protocols ensured the ceremony remained subdued. This marked the wedding of General Munir’s third of four daughters.
Meanwhile, external commentary has continued to scrutinize Pakistan’s broader political and security environment. A report by Greek City Times highlighted growing international concern over what it describes as Pakistan’s shift toward religious extremism and aggressive posturing.
Similarly, Asian News Post reported that Islamabad’s military-driven policies have struggled to stabilize the nation or improve its global standing, instead contributing to humanitarian strain and regional instability. The report also linked ongoing tensions with Afghanistan to long-standing security strategies shaped by the Pakistani military establishment.
