Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma are reportedly set to end their marriage after living separately for two years. The couple, who tied the knot in December 2020, filed for divorce in February 2025. Recent court proceedings have brought clarity regarding their official separation, alimony agreement, and the legal aspects involved.
Final Divorce Date Announced
As per reports, the Bombay High Court has intervened in the ongoing divorce case between Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma. Earlier, a family court had refused to waive the mandatory six-month cooling-off period required under the Hindu Marriage Act. However, keeping in mind Chahal’s professional commitments, particularly the upcoming IPL 2025 season, the court has expedited the process. The final divorce ruling is expected by March 20, 2025.
Legal Battle & Cooling Period Waiver
Dhanashree Verma had filed a petition requesting a waiver of the six-month waiting period, arguing that both parties had mutually agreed to the separation and there was no possibility of reconciliation. Initially, the court had dismissed the plea, but a fresh directive has now paved the way for a quicker resolution. The divorce will now be finalized much earlier than previously expected.
Alimony Agreement: How Much is Yuzvendra Chahal Paying?
Speculations were rife that Yuzvendra Chahal would be paying a hefty Rs 60 crore as alimony. However, official sources have now confirmed that the agreed amount is Rs 4.75 crore. Out of this, Chahal has already transferred Rs 2.37 crore to Dhanashree Verma. The remaining amount will be settled as per the court’s schedule.
Reasons Behind the Separation
While neither Chahal nor Dhanashree has publicly addressed the reasons for their separation, sources close to the couple suggest that personal differences and increasing professional commitments played a role. The duo had been living separately since 2022, and their marriage had been under public scrutiny for a while.
Court’s Role in the Divorce Process
The legal proceedings have moved quickly, considering Chahal’s involvement in IPL 2025. The court has ensured that all formalities are completed on time so that both parties can move on without unnecessary delays. The divorce settlement has been structured to avoid any major financial disputes, making the process as smooth as possible.
What’s Next for Yuzvendra Chahal & Dhanashree Verma?
With the final divorce date just around the corner, both Chahal and Dhanashree are expected to focus on their respective careers. While Chahal gears up for IPL 2025, Dhanashree is likely to continue her work in the entertainment and digital content industry.
The separation marks the end of their journey as a couple, but both individuals are set to embark on new paths in their personal and professional lives. The court’s swift handling of the case ensures minimal disruption, particularly for Chahal’s sporting commitments.
Stay tuned for further updates as the final court verdict is expected soon.
