The divorce case filed by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay’s wife, Sangeetha, in the Chengalpattu District Family Court came up for hearing today.

At the conclusion of the hearing, Sangeetha stated that she was withdrawing the divorce petition she had filed in the Family Court. Accepting this, the judge noted that the divorce case would be closed.
27 years of married life!
As it has been 27 years since Chief Minister Vijay and Sangeetha got married, she had recently filed a petition seeking divorce in the Family Court.
In the divorce petition, under the Special Marriage Act of 1954, allegations including adultery were made against Vijay.
He had alleged that he discovered only in April 2021 that Vijay, the chief minister, was in a relationship with an unnamed actress, and that after that Vijay imposed strict controls over his financial affairs and restricted him.
He had also stated that although he made many attempts in various ways to improve married life, nothing worked. Therefore, he had concluded that the marital relationship could not be renewed and said he was seeking a divorce. They have a son, Jason Sanjay, and a daughter, Divya Saasha.
It is at this stage that the divorce case has been withdrawn today. However, no reasons have been revealed for Sangeetha suddenly withdrawing the divorce case.
What could happen next?
Since Chief Minister Vijay’s wife Sangeetha has withdrawn the divorce case,
Generally
the two may reconcile and decide to live together again.
If there are new reasons for seeking divorce or if there are new issues, Sangeetha may file a new divorce case including those as well.
It has been reported that if both parties agree to separate by mutual consent, a new petition can be filed seeking divorce by mutual agreement.
Therefore, why was the divorce case withdrawn? What will happen next? It is expected that the truth will only be known if someone from either side issues an explanation or a statement.
