Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife, Dhanashree Verma, were officially granted a divorce by the Mumbai family court on Thursday. The court accepted their joint petition for mutual separation, confirming that the two are no longer legally married.
Key Details of the Divorce Settlement:
- Marriage & Separation: The couple tied the knot in December 2020 but had been living separately since June 2022.
- Legal Proceedings: They filed for divorce by mutual consent on February 5, 2024.
- High Court Intervention: The Bombay High Court waived the mandatory six-month cooling-off period, allowing an expedited decision, considering Chahal’s commitments in the upcoming IPL season.
- Financial Settlement: The initial delay in granting the divorce was due to partial compliance with the alimony terms, but the court later acknowledged that the payment structure allowed for a second installment post-divorce.
As Chahal now shifts focus to IPL 2025, where he will play for Punjab Kings, this legal closure allows him to concentrate fully on his professional commitments.
