Delhi Court grants divorce to renowned rapper Honey Singh and his wife

A Delhi Court has granted divorce to singer Honey Singh and his wife Shalini Talwar. Principal judge family court Paramjit Singh allowed the second motion filed in the matter, putting an end to nearly two-and-a-half-year long litigation.

The period of six to 18 months is granted as a period of interregnum, which is intended to give time and opportunity to the parties to reflect on their move seeking divorce.

Honey Singh got married to Shalini Talwar in January 2011 and in September 2022, after 11 years of marriage, a divorce petition was mutually moved in the family court under section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. The court accepted the petition granting them an interregnum period of six months.

During an interview Advocate Ishan Mukherjee, appearing for Honey told,"The second motion has been granted and the divorce decree has been issued.” However, he refused to comment any further about the matter, stating that it is a private matrimonial matter. Advocate Vivek Singh, counsel appearing for Talwar, also refused to comment on the issue stating that it is a matrimonial issue.

In August 2021, Shalini also approached Delhi Tis Hazari Court and filed a case of domestic violence against the singer. Honey, a few days after the case was filed, wrote a post on social media, calling the allegations "odious", "false" and "malicious". The allegations were however withdrawn after the parties reached a settlement.
