Members of the Islam community, swung into action to end the controversy over the marriage of Shoaib Malik with Ayesha Siddiqui, persuaded the Pak cricketer to give the Hyderabadi girl a talaq (divorce).

But, we convinced him that, according to the nikahnama, he had married a girl and he should divorce her.” As part of the deal, Shoaib will pay her Rs 15,000 over the next three months while Ayesha will withdraw the cases against him. Sources said there were some other conditions that the cricketer has agreed to. A group of five community elders took the responsibility of executing the deal.

The settlement paves the way for Shoaib’s wedding with Sania, scheduled for April 15.
