Shoaib Malik divorced Ayesha Siddiqui, the local girl whom he had married seven years ago, under a compromise worked out by Muslim community leaders paving the way for his marriage with Sania Mirza on April 15.
Under the compromise, Shoaib will pay Rs 15,000 as maintenance to Ayesha at the rate of Rs 5000 per month for three months as per Sharia (Islamic law), Shafi, Sania's uncle, announced at a joint press conference at the residence of Ayesha Siddiqui.
"Divorce papers have been signed," Farisa Siddiqui, Ayesha's mother, told a press conference in Hyderabad. "The settlement is done."
The deal apparently ends a complex and often contradictory tale during which Malik consistently denied ever being married to Ayesha.
After Malik and Mirza, announced they would get married on April 15, Siddiqui made a range of accusations including that she and Malik had signed a "nikahnama" (wedding agreement).
