However the bride’s mother, sister and two close friends were all present for the intimate ceremony, according to her nephew Yusuf Khan.
He said: ‘I am very close to her, she is like my mother. We have decided to hold a small reception tomorrow. There were only a few close friends of Imran Khan present at the occasion.
‘The majority of our family lives in UK and USA and that is the reason only my mother, grandmother and I attended it from close family.’
Mr Khan’s spokesman said the wedding kept small to honour the 145 victims of the terrorist attack on a school in Peshawar last month, in which 132 children died.
Spokesman Naeemul Haq said: ‘We did not want to celebrate it in big way due to the Peshawar school massacre.
They look very elegant together. It is the biggest news of the new year for the people of Pakistan. Tomorrow both bride and groom will distribute food among the poor and needy.’
Imran Khan’s sister, Aleema, confirmed that none of his family were present and said they never asked to attend.
The match has caused huge controversy in Pakistan where Mr Khan is chairman of the opposition party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
