Shikhar Dhawan Granted Divorce on Grounds of Wife’s Cruelty:
The Delhi family court granted a divorce to cricketer Shikhar Dhawan on Wednesday, citing cruelty as the grounds for the petitioner’s (Shikhar Dhawan) entitlement to the divorce decree.
The judge at Harish Kumar’s family court, dissolving their 11-year-old marriage, stated, “There is no dispute that both parties had mutually consented to seek a divorce, and their marriage had been lifeless for quite some time. They have not been living as husband and wife since August 8, 2020.”
The court observed that the deliberate choice of the respondent/estranged wife not to challenge this matter signifies her wish for the court to issue the divorce decree, even if it entails attributing matrimonial wrongdoing to her. She is aware that she will not be harmed even if found guilty of treating the petitioner with cruelty, as she has already secured favorable orders from the Federal Circuit and Family Court in Australia.”
“This mindset has given her the confidence to deliberately and intentionally disregard the court’s orders dated March 2, 2023, and June 6, 2023. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case discussed above, the petitioners are entitled to a divorce decree on grounds of cruelty,” the court added.
