Fans are not happy that Mohammed Shami has been ordered to pay Rs 1.30 lakh monthly alimony to his wife Hasin Jahan.
Social media has sympathized with Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami, who was recently asked by the Kolkata High Court to pay Rs 1.30 lakh monthly alimony to his estranged wife Hasin Jahan.
Rs 50,000, as per earlier reports, will be personal alimony for Hasin Jahan and the remaining Rs 80,000 will be towards the maintenance of her daughter who is living with her.
Social media users questioned the move, saying it would set a precedent of “misusing the law for women”.
Not that 78 lakhs would make a difference for Shami. But the sheer idiocy of the argument that a wife is required to be maintained without the allegations being proved, causes women to misuse the law to their advantage. And if he is acquitted then there is no way to get refund. Millard IQ: -20000% – Angry Indian (@d_impersonator) January 24, 2023
Another user raised the point that Hasin Jahan deserves to earn more than some of the cricketers playing in the domestic circuit.
Shami’s lawyer Selim Rahman claimed in the court that since Hasin Jahan herself was earning a steady income source by working as a professional fashion model, the demand for that high alimony was not reasonable.
Hasin Jahan in an particularhad expressed that she would approach the higher courts.
“Rs 50,000 is the minimum for me so I have to challenge it. It is true that the judgment is in my favor but I will approach the High Court as the amount fixed for my maintenance is very less considering Shami’s income.”
“It was really difficult for me to continue the legal battle for five years. Since I don’t have any financial support or earning, I only know how I managed the money for so long. Thus, I am entitled to more alimony to lead a quality life,” she said.
When asked about Shami’s recent performance for India, Jahan said she is unperturbed, “I just want to focus on my daughter, her studies and her well-being.”
