'This was not a divorce, it was open', father gave a big statement on the relationship between Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik

Amid rumours of divorce with India's legendary female tennis player Sania Mirza, Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik has married for the third time. Shoaib is married to famous Pakistani actress Sana Javed. In such a situation, has Sania Mirza now separated from Shoaib Malik? Are they divorced? Amidst all these questions, Sania's father Imran Mirza has given a statement.

Speaking to news agency PTI, Imran Mirza said, 'This was not a 'khula' divorce.' Let us tell you that there is not much difference between divorce and Khula. Under 'Khula', a Muslim woman has the right to divorce her husband unilaterally. Only the wife can have the desire to be 'open'. When this decision comes from the man's side, it is called divorce. Even after the divorce, the woman continues to live in her husband's house for three months. It is also mentioned in 'Quran' and 'Hadith'.

It is clear from the statement of Sania's father that the decision to separate was taken by Sania herself. Sania is Shoaib Malik's second wife. Earlier he had married Ayesha Siddiqui of India. In 2010, he married Indian tennis star Sania. Eight years later, both became parents. Both of them have a son, named Izhaan Mirza Malik.

Shoaib is now married to Sana Javed. This is also Sana's second marriage. Earlier in 2020, she had married Umair Jaswal. But their marriage did not last long and both of them decided to separate. Later, both of them deleted each other's photos from their respective social media accounts. 28-year-old Sana has appeared in many TV shows of Pakistan.
