Malaika-Arbaaz get divorce, end 17-year-old marriage

Mumbai: Bollywood couple Malaika Arora-Khan and Arbaaz Khan have finally ended their 17-year marriage with a family court here granting them divorce.

The couple had approached the Bandra family court seeking divorce by mutual consent last year, and attended some mandatory counselling sessions.

The court granted them divorce yesterday, legal sources said.

Malaika, who did not seek alimony from Arbaaz, got custody of their 14-year-old son.

Arbaaz can have access to him whenever he wants, the court said.

Reports of their marriage being on the rocks had started doing rounds when they stopped appearing together on a TV show they were hosting.
