Wasim Akram’s Wedding (Nikah) to Shaniera: Pictures and Details

Picture of Wasim Akram Wedding (Nikkah) to Shaniera Thompson.

  • Wasim Akram and Shaniera Thompson were married on August 12, 2013.
  • Wasim Akram and Shaniera Thompson’s “Nikah” (Wedding) took place in Lahore, Pakistan.
  • The Wedding (“Nikaah“) was a simple, private ceremony, attended by only family members. Wasim Akram and Shaniera Thompson’s “Nikah” was conducted as per Islamic traditions. Shaniera  has already converted to Islam.
  • As part of the “Nikah” (aka “Nikkah“) ceremony, the “Ijab-e-Qubul” ritual was performed. Wasim Akram proposed marriage (“Ijab“) to wife Shaniera Thompson. Shaniera accepted Wasim’s proposal (“Qubul“). Wasim Akram and Shaniera Mia Thompson signed the “Nikahnama” (marriage certificate) and they became husband and wife.
  • The wedding seems a bit sudden, but that can be explained by the fact that Wasim Akram’s father (Choudhry Mohammad Akram) is ailing and it is possible that the family thought it best to complete the wedding in his presence. Shanera came to Karachi in early August to celebrate Eid with Wasim & his sons. Wasim Akram was criticized by some in Pakistan for allowing an unmarried woman to stay in his house. This too may have prompted an early wedding.
