In a major development in the Mohammed Shami divorce case, the Calcutta High Court has ordered the Indian cricketer to pay ₹4 lakh every month as maintenance to his estranged wife Hasin Jahan and their daughter. The court ruled that Jahan will receive ₹1.50 lakh, while the daughter will get ₹2.50 lakh monthly. This verdict comes after years of legal battles following serious allegations made by Jahan in 2018, marking a crucial turn in the ongoing divorce case.
Calcutta High Court’s Major Decision in Mohammed Shami Divorce Case: ₹4 Lakh Monthly Support Ordered
The Calcutta High Court has delivered a significant verdict in the high-profile Mohammed Shami Divorce Case, directing the Indian pacer to pay a total of ₹4 lakh per month in maintenance. His estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, will receive ₹1.50 lakh per month, while their daughter Aaira will receive ₹2.50 lakh.
Mohammed Shami married former model Hasin Jahan in 2014. The couple had a daughter in 2015, but their marriage fell apart in 2018 when Jahan publicly accused Shami of adultery and domestic violence. Since then, both have been involved in an intense legal battle that has lasted for years.
Speaking to news agency ANI after the ruling, Hasin Jahan said, “Shami forced me to quit my profession. He wanted me to live only as a housewife. I gave up my modeling and acting career for him. But after all this, I’m left with no source of income.” She added that she had no option but to go to court when Shami refused to provide financial support.
“Thank God there is a law in our country which ensures justice. Shami must take full responsibility for our maintenance,” she said. Jahan also shared the emotional trauma she faced. “If someone is a criminal or has poor character, it doesn’t show on their face. I too became a victim. He tried to ruin my life, but he cannot destroy me. I am walking on the path of justice.”
Her advocate, Imtiaz Ahmed, called the court’s order a major moment in the case. “From 2018 to 2024, Hasin Jahan ran from pillar to post. Yesterday, the court ruled openly that ₹1.5 lakh will be provided to her and ₹2.5 lakh for the daughter. Mohammed Shami is also directed to assist the daughter whenever needed,” he said.
The High Court has asked the trial court to resolve the interim maintenance application within six months. According to Ahmed, the final maintenance amount could be revised to ₹6 lakh per month, as Hasin Jahan had initially claimed ₹7 lakh for herself and ₹3 lakh for the child.
This ruling brings temporary relief and financial stability to Hasin Jahan and her daughter, but it also keeps the spotlight on the Mohammed Shami Divorce Case, which continues to be one of the most publicized legal disputes involving an Indian cricketer.
