The family court in Delhi granted divorce to cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and his wife on the ground of cruelty.
Their marriage was solemnised in December, 2012 according to Sikh rites at Gurudwara, Nelson Marg, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. Both parties agreed for a divorce by mutual consent. The couple has been living separately since August 2020.
Shikhar Dhawan had also asked for granting a permanent custody of his minor son as it was morally, psychologically and mentally disastrous for his son to be with his mother as she acted detrimentally to his welfare since he was born.
However the custody issue is a complicated one as a custody petition for the child is also pending in a court in Australia. The minor boy is an Australian citizen and is studying in Australia
He stated that he discovered that the main reason for his wife to induce him into marrying her was to extort crores of rupees from him and that understood that only after the marriage was solemnised.
