Ayesha Siddiqui, who is claiming to be the wife of Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik is actually five years older than him.
It was admitted by Ayesha herself in a telephonic interview to national channels on Monday. She said Shoaib was younger to her, but that did not mean he had not married her. âShoaib was aware of that before marrying me,â she said.
Her family doctor Dr Shams Babar also said Ayesha would be âbetween 30 and 35 years of age.â He pointed out that Shoaib had met her at least 14 times after the marriage.
Shoaib told the media in the evening that he was only 18 years old when he was forced to sign on the Nikahnama. âWhy donât you go and ask her age? I used to call her Maha apa (elder sister). I never thought she was the same girl who I had married mistaking her to be Ayesha. But the girl in the photographs sent to me was different,â he said.
