Fraud complaint against Shoaib Malik
Shoaib Malik, the former Pakistan captain, faces prosecution for fraud in India after being charged on multiple counts by a person claiming to be his wife
What they said
Her version
They were married in 2002; Ayesha has a wedding certificate as proof
Ayesha accuses Malik of harassment, cheating, and criminal intimidation including threats to keep her quiet
Malik needs Ayesha's permission to marry again or has to grant her a divorce
His version
Malik claims says he came in contact with Ayesha in 2001, when she called him; they subsequently got to know each other over the phone
She sent Malik photographs that she claimed were hers, and subsequently asked him to marry her
They married in 2002, over the telephone; he says he was "emotionally forced" to do it
Malik visited Ayesha's house in Hyderabad, several times before and after the wedding, but each time the woman in the photographs was missing
In 2005, Malik discovered that a woman he'd met and been told was Ayesha's sister was actually Ayesha
In 2008 Malik sent a legal notice to Ayesha's father, "who had been feeding the media with false and fabricated stories about me"
He says there's no question of a divorce because the marriage is not valid
