Shami married Hasina in 2014, but the relationship has been in hot water for recent years, leading to the divorce. Hasin filed a domestic violence and dowry harassment to match-fixing allegations on Shami in 2018, sparking intense media scrutiny and triggered a BCCI investigation.
Justice Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee emphasised the need for fair financial stability, rejecting the lower court’s earlier order of Rs 50,000 and Rs 80,000 as insufficient. The ruling came in response to Jahan’s appeal against a 2023 decision that granted a lower maintenance amount. She originally sought ₹10 lakh in combined monthly aid.
