Pakistani digital creator Rajab Butt has responded to statements shared online by his wife Emaan Asad regarding their divorce.
The influencer said he now wants to resolve the matter legally and will no longer discuss his personal life on social media.
Rajab Butt recently made headlines after publicly addressing his divorce during an appearance on a show hosted by Rehan Tariq.
During the show, he confirmed the decision to separate and revealed that a legal divorce notice had been sent to his wife. Shortly afterward, Emaan Asad shared the notice on her social media account.
In her Instagram story, she wrote that she and their son Kivan had been going through emotional pain following the separation.
Rajab says he is ending marriage gracefully
In response to the story, Rajab Butt posted videos explaining his side of the situation.
He admitted that discussing the matter publicly was a mistake.
“It was my fault that I brought my marriage issues on social media,” Rajab said. “I should not have discussed it publicly. It should have been handled legally.”
He added that marriages sometimes fail and that both parties have the right to end them respectfully.
“If we have made a wrong decision, we can end it. Religion allows us to end it gracefully.”

Rajab also responded directly to Emaan’s Instagram story, saying it appeared to be aimed at gaining public sympathy.
According to him, the post was shared deliberately to present her as a victim in the situation.
He further said that involving their son in the online discussion was unnecessary and added that his social media brand was built with his friends long before the marriage.
Legal process will continue
Rajab Butt said he will not share any more updates about the divorce on social media.
He explained that the process would now follow legal procedures according to Islamic law, starting with the first divorce notice already sent.
“According to Shariah law, I have sent the first notice. The second notice will be sent at its time. Everything will be handled legally,” he said.
He also stated that continuing the marriage had taken a toll on his mental health.
Fans urge couple to reconcile
The situation has sparked a wave of reactions online, with many fans urging the couple to resolve their issues privately.
Some followers have asked Rajab Butt to sit down with Emaan Asad and attempt reconciliation, particularly for the sake of their son Kivan.
Others criticized both sides for discussing their personal matters publicly.
