Chahal Dhanashree: A big news is coming out regarding the divorce of Indian team’s star spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma. The decision on their divorce may come tomorrow (March 20). The Bombay High Court has ordered the Bandra Magistrate Court to decide by Thursday on the mutual divorce proceedings initiated by Chahal and his estranged wife Dhanashree.
Chahal will play for Punjab team in IPL 2025
34-year-old Yuzvendra Chahal is preparing to play in the IPL 2025 season. This time he will play for Punjab Kings (PBKS). The tournament will start from March 22. While the Punjab team will play its first match against Gujarat Titans on March 25. Punjab team, owned by Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, bought Chahal in the mega auction of IPL 2025. The franchise made a big bid of Rs 18 crore to buy Chahal. Chahal has previously played for Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL.
Justice Madhav Jamdar’s bench said that they have spoken to Chahal’s lawyer. He has told that Chahal will not be available in the court after March 21, because he will be busy in IPL. This is the reason why the family court has been directed to give its verdict in this divorce case by March 20.
This petition was filed only last month
Both Chahal and Dhanashree had filed a petition in the family court on February 5 for divorce by mutual consent. However, the family court refused to waive the 6-month cooling off period.
After this, both Chahal and Dhanashree challenged this decision of the Family Court in the High Court. Let us tell you that under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, a cooling off period of 6 months is necessary for getting a divorce. This time is given so that both the husband and wife can reach a consensus and decide to live together without getting divorced. The matter can be resolved again between the two.
Chahal agreed to pay Rs 4.75 crore to Dhanashree
While Justice Jamdar acknowledged that Chahal and Verma have been living separately for two and a half years and the terms agreed during mediation between the two parties regarding payment of alimony have been followed. After considering this, the bench waived the cooling period. According to the family court, Chahal had agreed to pay Rs 4.75 crore to Dhanashree. Out of this, he has paid Rs 2.37 crore so far.
