Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik’s marriage to actress Sana Javed in January 2024 reportedly ended his previous marriage to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza. Sania, it appears, opted for ‘khula’ – an Islamic procedure where the woman seeks divorce – after allegedly learning about Malik’s extramarital affairs. The public nature of Malik’s new marriage forced her to respond, but more than that, she also had to do so because she felt the fact that Sania kept her private life strictly off-limits during her 14 years of marriage only began in 2010 and saw her son Izhaan being born in 2018 made all her efforts all the harder.
