Vijay’s Wife Files For Divorce

According to the petition, Sangeeta Sornalingam claimed that her husband Vijay, was involved in an extramarital affair with a female actor. She allegedly found out that the actor was in an ‘adulterous relationship’ with an actress, and that even after his assurance to end the relationship, it continued without any sign of regret. As described in Sections 27(1)(a) and 27(1)(d) of the Special Marriage Act, these became relevant to Sangeetha’s divorce grounds.

The act allows for divorce if a spouse is proved to have committed adultery or treated the other party cruelly. Her petition mentioned these legal reasons in the continuing procedures. The case is currently before the District Court. The outcome is yet to be determined. According to news agency ANI, a woman filed the case in the Chengalpattu family court.
