In June, when the news of Jahan becoming pregnant became public, there were several speculations on who the father was. The entire social media was full of speculations on this count.
At that point in time, Jahan claimed their marriage was illegal as per Turkish law. She also said that since their marriage was not conducted under the Special Marriage Act, her relationship with Jain was just a live-in relationship. According to her, her marriage with Jain was not legal at all.
Since her marriage was not conducted under the Special Marriage Act, the only legal way out for the separation was the annulment of marriage. So Jain opted for it and now the court has finalised their separation.
