The protracted legal dispute between Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami and his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, has once again garnered public attention, with Jahan accusing the bowler of withholding essential financial support for herself and their daughter. The allegations underscore a bitter and ongoing legal battle that has frequently unfolded in the public eye since the couple’s separation.
Hasin Jahan makes bold remarks against Mohammed Shami
Hasin Jahan, who entered into marriage with Shami in 2014, recently shared her personal struggles, asserting that she was compelled to abandon her professional career following their wedding. This decision, she claims, has left her without any independent source of income, forcing her to rely on the courts for maintenance. “I used to model and act before I got married,” Jahan stated to ANI, recounting her ordeal. “Shami forced me to quit my profession. He wanted me to live only a housewife’s life. I loved Shami so much that I happily accepted it.”
The cricketer’s wife articulated her current predicament, emphasizing that her financial dependence on Shami necessitated legal intervention when he allegedly ceased providing support. “Now I have no earnings of my own. Shami has to bear all the responsibility for our maintenance. That is why we had to approach the court when he denied this. Thank God there is a law in our country which orders people to bear their responsibilities,” she explained, expressing gratitude for the country’s legal framework, which she believes upholds individuals’ responsibilities. Furthermore, she voiced serious concerns regarding Shami’s character, suggesting his actions jeopardize their daughter’s future. “If you are entering a relationship with someone, it is not written on their face that they have a poor character, are a criminal, or will play with your and your daughter’s future. I too became a victim like this,” she lamented. She added a poignant plea, stating, “God has forgiven the biggest criminals. He cannot see the protection, future, and happiness of his daughter. He should also give up his stubbornness of wanting to ruin Hasin Jahan’s life. He cannot destroy me because I am on the path of justice while he is on the path of injustice.”

High Court mandates increased interim maintenance for Hasin Jahan
In a significant development, the Calcutta High Court has issued a directive compelling Shami to pay a revised interim maintenance sum of ₹4 lakh per month. This amount is to be allocated as ₹1.5 lakh for Hasin Jahan and ₹2.5 lakh for their daughter. The court deemed this sum “just, fair, and reasonable,” asserting its necessity to ensure their financial stability throughout the ongoing legal proceedings.
This latest ruling revises a previous order from a sessions court in 2023, which had directed Shami to pay ₹50,000 to Jahan and ₹80,000 to their daughter. Jahan had appealed against this earlier decision, leading to the High Court’s re-evaluation.
