why did Benazir Bhutto marry Asif Ali Zardari?

Don't go into the past, see the present age. Look, how cute he is. ;)

1.With all due respect for the dead, it has to be said, Benazir was beautiful, desirable, rich and belonging to a powerful family. It is not surprising that "stories" used to circulate about her. One even said, after her father's hanging, she moved into Imran Khan's London flat where they lived together.

2. The man behind the match was Hakim Ali. The owner of Bambino, Karachi, he was no match or patch to Bhuttos - which always irked him as it later transpired. Gossip has it that he used to go around claiming his son Asif was the most virile man in Sind!

3. Benazir was perhaps even more ambitious than her dad. She understood she had to marry to be accepted politically. And she had to marry a Sindi and a Shia. Also someone of inferior lineage who could not protest her dominance.

4. When Benazir, in pre-PM days, came to BD, she looked for Mujibur Rahman Chisty which raised eyebrows in BD. This fraudulent "pir" was a "badmash" and was suspected to be working for various foreign agencies. The man was eventually slaughtered in his house/huzrakhana at Dhaka by unknown assailants. Gen Imtiaz, Bhutto Sr's Mily Adviser, had accompanied Benazir to Dhaka. He traced the fraud in his village and had him brought to Dhaka. The "pir" used to claim that he had told Benazir that God was displeased with her because she was moving around in her peak youth without a husband. He blessed her to accomplish great things provided she got married. Curiously she did marry immediately after this, and she did become PM thereafter.

5. In the 1970 elections Hakim Ali took a fancy to contest, but Bhutto refused to entertain him. Hakim came to Dhaka and met Mashiur Rahman Jadu Mia, NAP (B), the last Opposition Leader in the NA. Jadu Mia took him to see Maulana Bhashani who wrote down a chit to Bhutto recommending for Hakim. That is how the Zardaris came into politics.

6. Benazir needed a husband of the specs in para 3; never mind that she was too sophisticated for a rustic Asif Ali. But Hakim had great things to hope from his son and eventually grand-son.
 


Hay koi mere jesa ??

But I guess the marriage was politically motivated. There was a lot to gain for Zardari so he must have put a lot of effort.
 
OK, I will answer this question because of some inside info.

Benazir had a lot of marriage proposals from known families in and out of Pakistan but all of them wanted her to remain away from politics.

One of the Raja's or nawabs (I forget who exactly) wanted Benazir as his daughter in law but they did not want her participating in politics at all.

Benazir was adamant that she leads PPP against Gen. Zia and Hakim Zardari was for her participation in politics.

Being a friend of Nusrat Bhutto, Hakim Zardari put forward the proposal and it was accepted though Benazir was reluctant initially.

However, what had to happen, happened.



This doesn't sound a solid enough a reason.


I just don't see the benefit for her or her family.

Unless ofcourse she was so driven that she wasn't bothered until the age of 37, by which time it dawned on her that she had to marry someone.

And zardari was probably seen as a "quick and dirty" (thats just a phrase btw) option who would not be a hinderance to her ambitions.

True iron lady if that's the case.
 
Zardari spun a web of romance around her and she fell for him xD
 
Shes dead let her be guys. I could say a lot but let it be.
 
Because Bhuttos being No.1 Chor decided to strengthen their alliance by building firm relations with No.2 chors the Zardaris as a result we have the biggest thief of the world leading the country.

^^ This is utterly false.


She never did any thing for PPP, while in exile and neither did she had ever any plans to married in Pakistan or live in Pakistan.

It was a big surprise when she decided to recollect PPP and run for elections immediately after death of gen. Zia.
I can bet that her marriage in 1987, was a continuation of plan which involved murder of general Zia.

it was a marriage of conviniance.. from beginning.

She was never known to Asif Zardari and had not seen Asif Zardari until few days before announcement.

“Conscious of my religious obligations and duty to my family, I am pleased to proceed with the marriage proposal accepted by my mother.”

This is how she described her marriage and never mentioned of any other proposals.

There were rumors that in her early youth, she liked Faisal Saleh Hayat and IK.

While Zardari's back ground is that his father Hakim Ali Zardari was critique of Pakistan.

His son (Asif Ali) grew up in closed family circle and inherited hate towards Pakistan.

From day one of BB's govt. he played the role of vamp. and earned the title of Mr.10%

BB received various complaints about him but she ignored during her rule but she never looked back when he was in jail.

Pakistan had always been a swamp of foreign agencies, which are constantly conspiring against Pakistan.

No wonder if BB's arranged marriage with Zardari was brokered by RAW.
 
Zardari spun a web of romance around her and she fell for him xD
Apparently this is all true.

Her daughter Aseefa Zardari tweeted the same thing few days ago on her twitter account:

AseefaBZ Aseefa B Zardari
If you are looking for a true love story look no further than SMBenazir Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari&#8217;s marriage &#8211; 24 years today <3
 
WTF.. It was an arrange marriage not a love marriage and BB had principally decided to divorce Zardari.

I have quoted on record statement of BB and there is no proof that BB and Zardari were known to each other ever before the announcement of marriage.
 
Benazir was out of her mind to marry an illiterate like Zardari.

What more can i say!
 
His son (Asif Ali) grew up in closed family circle and inherited hate towards Pakistan.

Which is evident by the Zardari politics now a days
 
Because Bhuttos being No.1 Chor decided to strengthen their alliance by building firm relations with No.2 chors the Zardaris as a result we have the biggest thief of the world leading the country.
But Bhutto was positive Chorr, He done everything for the betterment of Pakistan but not for his pocket, to get Pakistan nuclear state, Missile state.....etc :pakistan:While Zardari was negative Chorr/thief because he was interested to fill his pocket. :argh:
