A Kolkata court has declared that Nikhil Jain and Nusrat Jahan’s wedding is not valid. The court said that the legal wedding did not happen between the ex-couple.
“It is declared that the alleged marriage held on 19/06/2019 at Bodrum, Turkey in between the plaintiff and the defendant is not legally valid. The suit is, thus, disposed of on admission,” the Kolkata court ruled.
The order was based on religious grounds as Nusrat Jahan is a Muslim by faith, while Nikhil Jain is a Hindu.
On June 9 this year, TMC MP Nusrat Jahan had also released a statement saying that her marriage with Nikhil was according to Turkish Law and hence, not valid in India. She had alleged that her belongings, like family jewellery and other assets, have been ‘illegally held back’. She also alleged that her “funds were mishandled” from various accounts without her knowledge.

“The one who claims to be “rich” and “been used by me” has been taking money from my account by accessing my bank accounts illegally and by illegitimate means at odd hours of the night, even post-separation,” Nusrat had said in her statement.
Nikhil had called her allegations ‘baseless and derogatory and devoid of truth’. He added that he had proposed to Nusrat “out of love”, which the actor-MP “gladly accepted”. After this, they “went for a destination marriage in Bodrum of Turkey in June 2019 followed by a reception at Kolkata.”
