How much alimony amount Yuzvendra Chahal agreed to pay wife Dhanashree Verma?

Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has agreed to pay his estranged wife Dhanashree Verma millions in alimony as the couple set to get divorce.

It is reported that Chahal has already paid INR2.37 crore out of INR4.75 crore agreed to part ways with wife Verma.

This has been a major factor in the couple’s legal proceedings, as the family court initially rejected their request to waive the six-month cooling-off period, citing partial compliance with the alimony agreement.

The Bombay High Court granted the couple the option to waive the cooling-off period, which typically applies under the Hindu Marriage Act.

Under Section 13B(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, couples seeking mutual divorce must wait six months before their petition can proceed.

This decision came as part of their divorce case, which has been ongoing since they filed for divorce in February. They tied the knot in December 2020, have been living separately since June 2022.

The court ordered the family court to resolve the divorce petition by March 20, just before Yuzvendra Chahal’s participation in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, set to begin on March 22.

The cooling-off period is meant to give couples a chance to reconsider reconciliation. However, the Bombay High Court ruled that this provision did not apply to Chahal and Dhanashree, due to prolonged separation.
