Following the announcement of Shoaib's marriage to Sana, a family source revealed to PTI that Sania Mirza had initiated the divorce proceedings. The source confirmed that it was a 'khula,' a term referring to the right of a Muslim woman to unilaterally divorce her husband. Sania's cryptic social media posts earlier hinted at a troubled relationship, stating, "When something disturbs the peace of your heart, let it go."
This marks Shoaib Malik's third marriage, having divorced his first wife, Ayesha Siddiqui, to marry Sania Mirza in 2010. Shoaib and Sania, who got married in a traditional Hyderabadi Muslim ceremony, have a five-year-old son named Izhaan, who currently lives with Sania.
The report suggests that Shoaib Malik's family disapproves of his third marriage, evident from their absence at the wedding. Sania Mirza's parents, in response to the separation, revealed that it was a 'khula.' Sania's social media posts about the challenges of marriage and divorce further fueled rumors of trouble in paradise.
Shoaib Malik, a celebrated all-rounder in Pakistan, recently faced controversies on and off the field. While his cricketing career has seen a dip in recent years, his personal life has taken center stage with this unexpected marriage. The 41-year-old cricketer last played a T20I in November 2021.
