Yuzvendra Chahal to Pay ₹4.75 Crore Alimony to Dhanashree Verma as Bombay HC Waives Cooling-Off Period
March 19, 2025
In a significant development in Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal’s divorce case, the Bombay High Court has granted the waiver of the mandatory six-month cooling-off period, expediting the legal proceedings between Chahal and his estranged wife, Dhanashree Verma. The high court has directed the family court to finalize the divorce by March 20, considering Chahal’s participation in the upcoming IPL 2025 season.
The court’s ruling overturns an earlier family court decision that denied the waiver request under the Hindu Marriage Act.
✔️ Alimony Amount: ₹4.75 crore
✔️ Amount Paid Till Date: ₹2.37 crore
✔️ Pending Payment: ₹2.37 crore to be settled soon
The couple, who tied the knot in December 2020, had been living separately since June 2022 before filing for mutual divorce on February 5, 2025 in Bandra’s Family Court.

Chahal agreed to pay ₹4.75 crore in alimony, out of which ₹2.37 crore has already been paid. However, the initial denial of the waiver was due to partial non-compliance with the alimony payment terms, which the Bombay High Court later overruled, citing the extended period of separation and overall compliance.
📌 Chahal’s legal team argued that since both parties had already been living separately for over two years, further delays were unnecessary.

📌 The court acknowledged that Chahal’s IPL 2025 commitments require a quick resolution, as prolonged legal proceedings might impact his professional schedule.
📌 The ruling allows the couple to legally part ways by March 20, 2025, as per the high court’s directive.
With the court’s decision, Chahal is now set to focus on his IPL campaign, while both individuals move forward separately. Meanwhile, the remaining alimony payment of ₹2.37 crore will be completed as per the final terms.
