  • In 2016, Omar Abdullah filed for divorce from Payal, citing “cruelty” and “desertion” as grounds; however, the trial court rejected the plea, stating that he couldn’t substantiate these claims. Omar later appealed the decision, but the Delhi High Court dismissed the plea on 12 December 2023. The court upheld the family court’s view that the allegations of cruelty were vague and unproven.
