Mr Khan
At the same time he changed his lifestyle, devoting more time to Islam.
His marriage to Jemima three years later caused waves in part because he was in his 40s and she was only 21. Moreover she was Jewish, he a Muslim. She was to convert to Islam, which she says she still follows now she is living back in the UK.
The two shared his political work, with Jemima joining him on the campaign trail.
Imran Khan became a member of Pakistan's parliament in 2002 and has been a vociferous critic of President Pervez Musharraf.
Despite his high-profile, Mr Khan's Justice Movement party has little support.
He is also known for founding a hospital in Lahore for the treatment of cancer, after his mother died from the disease.
Jemima's high-profile circle of friends included the late Princess Diana who visited the hospital in 1996.
I think the third sentence is incorrect.
Moreover she was Jewish, he a Muslim. [This is wrong]
The following is the correct one:
Moreover she was Jewish and he is a Muslim.
