’شعیب ملک نے عائشہ کو طلاق دے دی‘

کرکٹر شعیب ملک نے شادی کی مسلسل تردید کے بعد عائشہ صدیقی کو طلاق دے دی ہے۔ طلاق کا یہ فیصلہ حیدر آباد دکن کی اہم مسلم شخصیات کی ثالثی کے بعد طے پایا ۔

منگل کی رات بھر مسلم برادری کی بعض اہم شخیصات کی موجودگی میں شعیب ملک اور عائشہ صدیقی کے خاندان کے لوگوں سے مصالحت کی بات چیت چلتی رہی۔

ثالثی میں حصہ لینے والے میجر قادری نے بدھ کی صبح ایک پریس کانفرنس مین بتایا کہ ایک قاضی کی موجودگی میں صبح شعیب نے طلاق کے کاغذات پر دستخط کر دیے۔

میجر قادری نے بتایاکہ دونوں خاندانوں پر زبردست دباؤ تھا کیونکہ ایک انتہائی ناقابل قبول حالت پیدا ہو گئی تھی۔ اسی لیے برادری کی اہم شخصیات اور علماء کو دخل دینا پڑا۔

پریس کانفرنس میں عائشہ کی والدہ محترمہ فریسہ بھی موجود تھیں۔ انہوں نے کہا ’میری بیٹی کی جو خواہش تھی کہ اس معاملے کو ہمیشہ کے لیے حل کیا جائے وہ بزرگوں کی مدد سے حل ہو گیا ہے۔ ہم بہت خوش ہیں۔ عائشہ بہت خوش ہے۔‘

دونوں جانب سے بات جیت میں حصہ لینے والے عابد رسول خان نے بتایا کہ مصالحت کے بعد عائشہ نے شعیب ملک کے خلاف تمام معاملات واپس لینے کی درخواست دے دی ہے۔

دہلی سے ہمارے نامہ نگار شکیل اختر نے بتایا کہ میجر قادری نے بتایاکہ اس تنازعہ کے حل میں کسی طرح کا کوئی لین دین نہیں ہوا ہے۔ ’اسلامی شریعت کے مطابق طلاق کے بعد عائشہ کو پانچ ہزار روپئے فی ماہ کے حساب سے صرف پندرہ ہزار روپئے دیے گئے ہیں۔‘

انہون نے کہا کہ اس تنازعے کے حل میں نہ کسی کی جیت ہوئی ہے اور نہ ہی کسی کی ہار ۔’اس واقعے سے دونوں ملکوں میں برادری کی بدنامی ہو رہی تھی۔ ہمیں خوشی ہے یہ معاملہ حل ہو گیا۔‘

پریس کانفرنس میں شعیب اور عائشہ موجود نہیں تھے۔ ثالثین نے دونوں فریقوں کی طرف سے میڈیا سے بات کی۔

Never forced Shoaib to marry: Ayesha

KARACHI: Ayesha Siddiqui, the alleged wife of Shoaib Malik, Saturday said that she had never forced Shoaib to marry her and that it was Shoaib himself who first expressed the intention of getting married.

Talking exclusively to Geo News, Ayesha Siddiqui clarified that she had never chatted with Shoaib over the Internet nor did their first meeting took place on the Internet.

“We first met in Dubai in the year 2000 … I never even recognized in that meeting that he was a Pakistani cricketer,” she claimed.

To a question, Ayesha said: “At first we were only good friends and it was Shoaib himself who disclosed to the media that we had met in Dubai.”

She said her second meeting with Shoaib took place in Jeddah and that Shoaib came to India by receiving a visa from Kenya.

Replying another question about their marital relations, she said: “Shoaib and I stayed together in a hotel in Hyderabad Deccan.”

Replying to another question about their post-marital relations, she said: “Shoaib and I stayed together in a hotel in Hyderabad Deccan.” Later in 2007 Shoaib had stopped contacting me and changed all his phone numbers, she alleged.

She said then she had left all the things up to the will of God. “I tried to contact Shoaib’s relatives including his brother-in-law but to no avail,” she said, adding, Muhammad Yousuf’s wife was the last relative she spoke with in December 2006.

“I have two names, Ayesha and Maha, just like Shoaib has two names, Shoaib and Moon,” Ayesha Siddiqui said in reply to a question.

She said Sania Mirza had never been her friend. Sania and my relatives were on friendly terms though, she added.

Ayesha said her father became too emotional while trying to prove her case before media. And, ironically, it was not for my marriage but for getting me a divorce, she said.

Regarding the reception to the Pakistan cricket team, she said the entire team was invited including Inzimam, Yousuf and Razzaq. “But it was not this house because of security reasons,” she added.

She said she could not meet with Shoaib Malik at that time because there were no ladies there.

Ayesha Siddiqui also alleged that once Shoaib Malik had said that he felt humiliated because of her being chubby. “When I asked him if I should lose weight, he said I would look ugly even after shedding weight,” she added.

Next month, the Indo-Pak match: Sania to wed Shoaib

Two months after she called off her engagement, tennis star Sania Mirza is all set to tie the knot with Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik.

Confirming the news on his Twitter account late Monday night, Malik wrote: “The news of me marrying Sania is true. Inshallah, will get married in April.”

While the Mirzas refused to confirm or deny the development, the Malik family spoke about the possible wedding date.

“Yes, the news is confirmed. Shoaib will be marrying Sania, most likely some time in the first week of April,” Imran Zafar, Malik’s brother-in-law, told The Indian Express from Lahore. “Ceremonies will be held both in India and Pakistan. There will be a reception in Lahore in the second or third week of April,” he said.

Sania and Malik met in Dubai recently and this was followed by the two families giving them the approval to get married.
In an interview, Malik had said that he intended to get married this year. “You will soon get some good news but it depends on my family.”

Sania and Malik are likely to settle down in Dubai — Malik holds a UAE passport. This move probably factors in Sania’s tennis career as well.

Malik, incidentally, was involved in a legal battle with another Hyderabad girl, Ayesha Siddiqui, in 2008. She had alleged that Malik married her over phone in 2002 and demanded a legal divorce.

Sania had been engaged to childhood friend Sohrab for seven months before calling it off, citing “incompatibility”.

Malik has been banned for one year by the PCB for poor performance and indiscipline during Pakistan’s recent tour of Australia. He has appealed the ban.
