LAHORE, Feb 5: While denying reports of marrying Ayesha Siddiqui, an Indian girl based in Hyderabad, Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik said on Tuesday that he would be filing a defamation case against her family, both in Pakistan and India.
Shoaib Malik told a press conference here allegations that he had ditched the Indian girl were “baselessâ€Â. Malik was accompanied by Imran Zafar, a close relative whom the Pakistan skipper has delegated to handle the matter.
Imran admitted that Malik had developed contacts with Ayesha through the internet and telephone in 2001. Later he even tried to meet Ayesha, visiting India for the purpose, but her family told him that the girl had gone to Saudi Arabia.
Then in 2005, Shoaib Malik went to India with the Pakistan team, and tried to see the girl once more, only to be told that she was in the United States.
But, Imran said, the shock came when “we learnt that Ayesha is not the girl whose photograph he (Malik) received through the Internet. This led Malik to cut all ties with her.â€Â
Ayesha’s family claims that Malik had married her on June 3, 2002. The Nikah was performed by a religious leader from Sialkot, the skipper’s home town. The family claims it had been agreed, on Malik’s request, that the wedding be kept secret till an “appropriate timeâ€Â.
But now they are asking for a divorce, calling the cricketer a “cheatâ€Â. However, Malik contends that in order to give a divorce there should have been a marriage in the first place.
No marriage, no divorce, says Shoaib Malik

LAHORE: Pakistan cricket team captain Shoaib Malik said that he is not related with the scandal spreading about his marriage with an Indian girl named Ayesha and he would file suit in this regard.
In a press conference along with his brother-in-law Imran Zafar in Lahore, he said that news published in media these days regarding his marriage is baseless and he does not relate with this.
Malik said that this is his personal and family matter and he would not talk further in this regard but his brother-in-law would tackle this issue.
Imran Zafar, brother-in-law of Shoaib Malik, said that this was merely an internet love affair, which started in 2001.
He told media that the girl with whom Shoaib Malik was chatting was mailing the picture of another girl to Malik and he committed with the girl shown in the picture.
Imran said that the pictures of the girl are with Malik but he does not want to play with her honour.
He said that this marriage scandal is a fraud as no nikah or rukhsati took place and the parents of Aysha are dishonouring the religion.
He said that the girl’s parents had invited the entire Pakistan cricket team at dinner in 2005 but they did not show the girl on the insistence of Inzamam-ul-Haq nor they arranged any meeting with her despite his efforts. This reveals that it was all fraud and the matter was ended in 2005 after the truth was known.

HYDERABAD: The father of a Hyderabadi girl whose love story involving Pakistani cricket captain Shoaib Malik went sour contested his claim that the couple did not enter into a nikah and pressed the player to give a "formal divorce."
M A Siddiqui in a statement said the family will move the court if his daughter does not get divorce which was needed to help her start a "new life."
He was reacting to Malik's statement in Karachi on January 21 when the cricketer claimed that no nikah took place between him and Ayesha Siddiqui.
"The nikah of my daughter (Ayesha) with Shoaib Malik took place on June 3, 2002. We also have the proof," said Siddiqui amid reports that the couple got 'married' through a telephone nikah on that date.
Siddiqui, a resident of posh Banjara Hills in the Andhra Pradesh capital, also challenged Malik's claims that his marriage plans with the Hyderabadi girl ended because both families could not reach an understanding on certain issues.
"Yes I had a long relationship with her and we planned to get married. But no nikah ever took place and in the end our families could not reach an understanding on various things," Malik had said.
Siddiqui alleged Malik wanted to end the relationship not for the reasons he had stated but "just to gain goodwill and build his image."
Siddiqui said his daughter is "devastated and traumatised" by the whole issue and claimed she was hospitalised many times.

Shoaib Malik's Marriage Story gets Filmy...
Denying reports that he had telephonic ‘nikah’ with any Indian girl, Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik on Tuesday alleged he has been a victim of a fraud done by a family based in Hyderabad in India.
‘‘Yes, Shoaib had an affair with a girl named Ayesha on the internet. He wanted to marry her and Siddiqui claimed her as his daughter. But the photographs they showed of Ayesha to Malik was not that of their real daughter. They tried to commit a fraud with us,’‘ Shoaib’s brother Imran told media persons here.
M A Siddiqui of Hyderabad had claimed that Malik had married his daughter Ayesha and had threatened to move court if his daughter did not get a formal divorce.
Imran, however, rubbished these claims saying he and Malik had applied for Indian visas and will be going there soon to file a case of fraud against the Siddiquis.
‘‘We didn’t want this issue to be raked up in public but they are taking advantage of Malik’s popularity as a cricketer. The thing is Malik liked a girl they claimed was their daughter and showed him pictures of another girl. When he did meet their daughter it was another girl,’‘ he said.
