"Possession is nine tenths of the law."
"Excuse me."
"I said possession is nine tenths of the law and need I add it's very unfair of the federal government to request Ishratul Ebad to leave the Governor's House after 13 years in residence there."
"That's an official residence that has to be vacated when the office holder no longer holds the office."
"Hey, how long does it take for someone in a common law marriage to be part owner of any asset that the two shared irrespective of who actually was the real owner of the asset?"
"Well, a lot less than 13 years but we are not living in the West."
"But still we do support a lot of their laws don't we?"
"No, not in terms of divorce settlements my friend. I mean if you get divorced in say the UK you are entitled to a lot of spousal support till you remarry..."
"The spousal support amount is based on the income of your ex-spouse."
"Right, but it's a monthly amount and not a one off payment but if you get divorced in this country then based on the haq mehr you agreed on, you may not be entitled to more than say 21 rupees as a one off settlement."
"Well, if I remember correctly Imran Khan said that 125,000 rupees was the amount that was agreed for the Prophet's favourite daughter."
"Hey, I don't know about that, but I do know that perhaps it's a good thing that there has been a break in Ishratul Ebad's appointment as Governor, I mean you know one collects junk over 13 years and changing the place of residence allows one to throw away or sell the junk if you know what I mean."
"I hope you are not being facetious. Besides how do you know he will never be reappointed as Governor Sindh?"
"Well, if the MQM is considered relevant by the federal government then he will be back - and lets be honest unless the Khan becomes the Prime Minister the MQM will remain relevant."
"May I advise Mian sahib to appoint Ebad as Governor KPK... I mean if he wants to irritate the Khan..."
"Ha, ha good one."
