Though the overall context of the topic might seem humorous for many of our readers, it is a good initiative for many who has passed through such circumstances. Moreover, sometimes a man marries a woman without telling her family that he is already married. Even in such a scenario, this initiative is applaudable as it will save many women from being prey to cheaters.

How to Check Your Husband’s Secret Marriage from Nadra?
Women who want to know if their husband is hiding a secret second marriage can just cross-check their fears with NADRA. This is a very easy process. Send your husband’s 13-digit CNIC number with no space and its date of issuance at 8009. That’s it. You will get the family members associated with him including his wives, kids, and siblings. Men are not very happy about this decision of the government, whereas on the other side women are extremely happy. Find the humorous video below from the Samaa TV to check it out:
A post shared by SAMAA TV (@samaatv) One can also use this database to confirm that the details of family members registered are correct. Upon sending your own CNIC on 8009, you will receive details of your family members. If any information is incorrect or the name of an unrelated person is included in the family members, write ‘1’ in reply to inform NADRA. A representative of the NADRA will then contact you from its helpline 051-2778009. If the information is correct, then reply ‘2’ to confirm it to the authority. However, it should be noted here that people would only be able to know about their family or second marriage of Husband if it’s registered with Nadra. Nighat Dad, a Pakistani lawyer, and activist has women regarding the overall process and how much valid CNIC is important in such cases.
