Mohammed Shami's wife, Hasin Jahan, has demanded ₹10 Lakh maintenance money from the cricketer, with ₹4 Lakh per month being a less amount. The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed the Indian cricketer to pay ₹1.5 lakh to her wife and ₹2.5 lakh to her daughter monthly.
Speaking to PTI, Hasin Jahan said, "The lifestyle that Shami Ahmed lives ₹4 lakh is less. We had demanded ₹10 Lakh every month for seven years and four months back. Now that the cost of things has also increased, we will go for 'CAVEAT'."
She furrther added,"This order by Calcutta High Court is a huge win for me. While I respect the judgment by the court, i feel that as per Shami Ahmed's status, we should receive more money so that i can easily maintain my daughter's future."
What did the Calcutta High Court order Shami to pay 4 Lakhs?
The judge of the Calcutta High Court explained that the figure of ₹4 lakhs was decided considering Shami's earnings, his daughter's future, and the lifestyle his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, was enjoying before the two parted ways.
Hasin Jahan had originally sought ₹10 lakh in total, ₹7 lakh for herself and ₹3 lakh for her daughter, but the lower court dismissed her request.
Following the latest verdict by the Calcutta High Court, Hasin Jahan said, “I used to model and act before I got married. Shami forced me to quit my profession. He wanted me to live only a housewife's life. I loved Shami so much that I happily accepted it... But now I have no earnings of my own. Shami has to bear all the responsibility for our maintenance. That is why we had to approach the court when he denied this,”
Mohammed Shami and Hasin Jahan's story
Mohammad Shami married Hasin Jahan in 2014, but the couple separated in 2018 when Jahan filed an FIR against her husband and family, alleging domestic violence and abuse.
Jahan accused Shami of cheating and domestic violence. She posted screenshots of Mohammad Shami’s alleged WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger conversations with multiple women. She also shared photos and phone numbers of the women.
The former KKR cheerleader alleged that Shami and his family had even tried to kill her. Hasin Jahan said that she tried to let go of things for the sake of their family. However, when she found out about the cricketer’s alleged obscene chats with multiple women, she decided to take legal action.
