Mohammed Shami claims wife Hasin Jahan lied in marriage certificate, ticked 'bachelor' box

Cricketer Mohammed Shami has claimed that his wife Hasin Jahan committed a fraud in their marriage certificate.

After stating that his wife kept him the dark about her two daughters from her previous marriage, Shami has alleged that she claimed to be a bachelor in their marriage certificate.

"She says I was aware of her previous wedding when we got married. The truth is that she ticked the 'bachelor' box in our marriage certificate form," the pacer was quoted as saying by ABP News. "That form is stamped and registered, so one can't deny it. Secondly, the daughters thing was a big deal for me. Even so, I gave them love that even a real father wouldn't. All their shopping and expenses, I took care of everything. Even they might've realise that they wouldn't have got all that in their own house too."

Meanwhile, Jahan's lawyer has denied Shami's allegations - of being kept in the dark about her first marriage - calling them an 'afterthought'.

"Shami has not made this allegation earlier when an FIR was registered against him; this has come as an afterthought. He was aware of everything before marriage," Jahan's lawyer Zakir Hussain told ANI. He added, "The investigation will establish the truth."

Hussain further said that Jahan has given Shami the provision to accept his mistakes and solve the matter, but the cricketer denied to do so. "My client has given Shami the proposal to confess. But I don't know why Shami is being so rigid," he said.

Shami's wife had earlier alleged that his husband abuses her physically and mentally and was also involved in many extra-marital affairs. A case was registered against Shami on the basis of a written complaint filed by Jahan.

In a recent development in the case, the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) has written to the BCCI's ACU head to investigate the charges levelled against Shami by his wife.
