A leading imam had to quit his post after it surfaced that he had left his first wife and married a girl 30 years younger than him.

According to MailOnline, Qari Javed Akhtar, 62, an imam at Manchester’s Central Mosque, married a woman named Sairish Ashraf, 23, six months ago.

Sairish’s brother accused Akhtar of befriending the family, marrying his younger sister without their consent and running off with her last month.

The secret marriage has sparked controversy in the local Muslim community and Akhtar had to step down from his role as chairman of International Na’at Association.

Akhtar is believed to have wed Sairish Ashraf but it is not yet known if he has married her under the British law.
