The Calcutta High Court has ordered Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami to pay a monthly alimony of ₹4 lakh to his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, and their daughter, pending the outcome of their legal battle. This decision overturns a previous court order for a lower amount. Jahan initially filed a lawsuit in 2018, accusing Shami of domestic violence, dowry harassment, match-fixing, and financial neglect. The High Court cited Shami’s income and Jahan’s need for financial stability as reasons for the increased alimony.

**Calcutta High Court Orders Mohammed Shami to Pay ₹4 Lakh Monthly Alimony**
**Kolkata – July 2, 2025** – Indian cricket star Mohammed Shami has been directed by the Calcutta High Court to pay ₹4 lakh per month in alimony to his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, and their daughter. The order, issued on Tuesday by Justice Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, mandates ₹1.5 lakh for Jahan and ₹2.5 lakh for their daughter, aimed at ensuring financial stability during the ongoing legal proceedings.
This decision comes after Jahan appealed against a lower court’s order from 2023, which had awarded ₹50,000 to Jahan and ₹80,000 to the daughter. Jahan had initially filed a First Information Report (FIR) in 2018, accusing Shami and his family of domestic violence, dowry harassment, and match-fixing allegations.
The High Court stated that Shami’s income allows for a higher alimony payment, and that Jahan, who remains unmarried and is independently raising their daughter, is entitled to the standard of living she enjoyed during their marriage. The court also left open the possibility for Shami to contribute additional expenses for their daughter’s education. The legal battle between Shami and Jahan has been ongoing since 2018.
