What FACTLY found
Mehbooba Mufti married Javed Iqbal Shah in 1984. She later divorced him and is currently living separately. Javed Iqbal Shah’s father is the maternal uncle of Mufti Muhammad Sayeed, who is Mehbooba Mufti’s father. Therefore, Javed Iqbal Shah is Mufti Muhammad Sayeed’s first cousin (brother-in-law), and before their marriage, Mehbooba Mufti was Javed Iqbal Shah’s niece
