The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has approved a new law regulating marriages between government employees and foreigners. The move introduces strict rules, including mandatory prior permission before such marriages.
According to an official announcement, Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has approved the law banning government employees from marrying foreigners without prior authorization.
The decision marks a significant policy shift aimed at regulating personal matters of public servants within the province.
Under the new law, any government employee intending to marry a foreign national must first obtain formal permission from the relevant authorities.
Officials say this requirement will ensure that such cases are reviewed and approved through proper channels before the marriage takes place.
Strict action for violations
The law clearly states that any employee who marries a foreigner without prior approval will face action under the applicable rules.
Authorities have emphasized that violating the policy will be treated as misconduct, making offenders liable to disciplinary proceedings.
The provincial government has reiterated that the rules will be strictly enforced. Officials say the measure is designed to strengthen administrative oversight and ensure compliance among public sector employees.
