Cricketer Al Amin Divorces His Wife

Bangladesh national cricket team pacer Al-Amin Hossain has claimed in the court that he has given divorce notice to his wife Israt Jahan.

He claimed this while submitting the answer to the case in the court of Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Tofazzal Hossain on Thursday (October 06).

On this day, the day of the hearing was fixed in the case. Al Amin appeared in court and filed a reply through a lawyer.

In response, he mentioned that he had given a divorce notice to his wife on August 25. He is willing to pay denmohor and maintenance. And he is regularly paying the expenses of two children.

However, the plaintiff's lawyer Md Shamsuzzaman said, we have filed a case to demand maintenance and peaceful family life. Now Al Amin is saying that he divorced the plaintiff. But he did not submit any documents to that effect. He said he is supporting two sons. But we have evidence that the elder son's school tuition fee is 50 thousand taka.

The court fixed the reply for a hearing after 5 days.

Earlier on September 27, Al Amin surrendered to the case filed by his wife Israt Jahan and got bail. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shafi Uddin granted his bail.

Before this, wife Israt Jahan filed this case against Al Amin on September 7, claiming to live peacefully together and monthly maintenance and children's expenses. The case was charged under section 15(1) (a) (b) (c)/16(5) (6) of the Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Act 2010 and Rules 2013.

After taking the plaintiff's statement, the court took cognizance of the case and summoned Al Amin to appear on September 27.

According to the case, Israt Jahan and Al Amin were married on December 26, 2012, according to Islamic Sharia. They have two sons. The elder son is studying at KG in Mirpur Cantonment Public School and College in English version. For quite some time, Al Amin does not support his wife and children and avoids them without seeking them and does not contact them.

It is also said that Al Amin came to his house around 10:30 pm on August 25 and demanded Tk. 2 million for dowry from his wife. When Israt Jahan refused to pay the money, Al Amin kicked her and injured her in different parts of her body and told her that he would not marry her. Israt Jahan called 999 for help and the police came and rescued her. Israt Jahan was treated at Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital. A case was also filed in Mirpur Model Police Station on September 1 in this incident.

Last September 3, Al Amin told through his mother that he will no longer be with Israt and will not support the children. He did this because of his addiction to adultery and sent a picture of himself with a woman to Israt.

It is said in the case that Al Amin said that he would take his wife and children out of the house and get married elsewhere. For two years the accused did not take care the plaintiff and did not stay at home regularly. Because of this, Israt filed the case demanding monthly maintenance along with the right to live peacefully in the homestead along with her two children. It is said in the case that Al Amin is entitled to receive 40,000 taka per month for living, maintenance of two children and 60,000 taka for education in English medium.
