The possibility of a DNA test may have made Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik to finally divorce Ayesha Siddiqui. Hyderabad Police is understood to have sounded Malik about the DNA test after Ayesha reportedly gave more material to buttress her case. Ayesha claimed that she had married 28-year-old Shoaib in 2005. Shoaib admitted to the 'nikahnama' but claimed that he had been tricked into the marriage.
Sources close to the Siddiqui family said that Ayesha was upset with Shoaib calling her an elder sister while addressing the media along with Sania.
It was only after that incident that Ayesha came out with more material about her relationship with the Pakistani cricketer, they said. Shoaib is all set to marry Sania on April 15.
Meanwhile, the divorce certificates of Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and Ayesha Siddiqui, the Hyderabadi girl whom he married seven years ago, were issued by Wakf Board institute in Hyderabad on Wednesday evening.
The former Pakistan captain on Wednesday signed papers to divorce Ayesha, after a compromise was brokered by city-based Muslim community leaders, who held hectic negotiations since Tuesday.
The 'talaqnama' between Shoaib and Ayesha was submitted at the Darul Qazzat Golconda after which the Golconda Qazi, under whose jurisdiction tennis star Sania Mirza's residence falls, issued the divorce papers, sources said.
Darul Qazzat Golconda is an institute under the state Wakf board which performs marriages and issues divorce certificates apart from counselling. The divorce would now finally enable Shoaib to marry Sania, whose wedding is scheduled on April 15 here. PTI
