India top pacer Shami asked to pay Rs400,000 in monthly alimony
The order directs him to pay Rs 150,000 per month for his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan's personal maintenance and Rs 250,000 towards the care and expenses of their daughter.
Earlier, the cricketer had been directed to pay her Rs 50,000 per month and an additional Rs 80,000 for their daughter's expenses. Which Jahan then appealed, in which her legal counsel argued that Shami's financial circumstances could support a higher alimony amount.
According to his income tax return for the financial year 2021, Shami's annual income was approximately Rs 6 million per month. Jahan claimed her combined monthly expenses, including those for her daughter, exceeded Rs 600,000.
The High Court ruled in her favour after taking these details into account.
In 2014, former model and Kolkata Knight Riders cheerleader Hasin Jahan tied the knot with Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami. The following year, they welcomed a daughter.
However, by 2018, their marriage had taken a turbulent turn. Jahan publicly leveled serious accusations against Shami, including domestic abuse, dowry-related harassment, and even involvement in match-fixing. She further claimed that Shami had ceased to support her financially, deepening the rift between them.

India captain Shubman Gill scores maiden Test double-century against England
India captain Shubman Gill scored a superb maiden Test double-century as he again led from the front against England in the second Test at Edgbaston on Thursday. Gill was 265 not out at tea on the second day, with his innings the cornerstone of India's imposing 564-7. The 25-year-old Gill, in just his second Test as captain, set a new record Thursday for the highest score by an India batsman in a Test in England, surpassing the great Sunil Gavaskar's 221 at the Oval back in 1979. Gill also received excellent support from spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja (89) and Washington Sundar in partnerships of 203 and 144 for the sixth and seventh wickets respectively. Already a Test-best 168 not out at lunch, Gill continued to take a toll of England's attack as he once more batted in near flawless fashion. He was especially severe on Shoaib Bashir, cover-driving the off-spinner for four and lofting him for six. Gill also struck two fours in three balls off fast bowler Josh Tongue, an on-drive followed by a flick off the hip that saw Joe Root and Zak Crawley almost collide in a failed attempt to prevent the boundary. A hooked single off Tongue took Gill to 200 in 311 balls, including 21 fours and two sixes, wit the elated skipper bowing to a capacity crowd in celebration. England were reduced to bringing on part-time medium-pacer Harry Brook in a desperate bid to 'buy' a wicket but Gill struck him for three successive fours — the best a textbook straight drive. But it was occasional off-spinner Root who took the lone wicket of the session when he bowled left-hander Sundar with a delivery that turned and bounced. India, making fine use of a flat pitch, still scored 145-1 in the 31 overs between lunch and tea. By that stage Gill had bettered his Test-best score for the second match in a row after making 147 in last week's five-wicket loss at Headingley, where England went 1-0 up in a five-match series. India, again sent into bat by England captain Ben Stokes, resumed on 310-5. Gill was 114 not out after becoming just the seventh player to score a century in each of his first two (or more) Tests as captain. It was also, statistically at least, the most secure Test hundred on record in England since analysts Cricviz began recording such statistics in 2006. On Wednesday, Gill's false shot percentage was just 3.5 percent. The average when making a hundred in England is 12 percent. Yashasvi Jaiswal contributed an entertaining 87 before Jadeja (41 not out) joined forces with Gill in a stand worth 99 at Wednesday's close. But India, batting in ideal sunny conditions on Thursday, now wanted even more runs from their sixth-wicket duo after collapses of 7-41 and 6-31 cost them dear at Headingley. Jadeja went to 50 with a single off local hero Chris Woakes. Stokes introduced Bashir and set a 6-3 legside field for paceman Brydon Carse, with England trying increasingly unusual methods to make a breakthrough on a good batting pitch. Gill's single off Bashir took him to 150. Buoyed by setting a new personal best with the largest of his seven hundreds in 34 Tests, Gill then reverse-swept Bashir for four. Jadeja lofted Bashir for six to bring up India's 400 and Gill raised the sixth-wicket duo's 200-run stand in style by slog-sweeping the spinner for another six. But 10 minutes before lunch, Jadeja gloved a short ball from Tongue to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith. He faced 137 balls, striking 10 fours and a six.

Jacques Benade urges UAE to prove they are best of the rest in Asian rugby with success in Sri Lanka
Jacques Benade, the UAE coach, wants his side to prove their worth in the top flight of Asian rugby by beating Sri Lanka on Friday. Victory in Colombo would likely give the national team second place in the 2025 Asia Rugby Championship (ARC). It would be the second time in two seasons they have been runners-up since their long-cherished return to the top tier of the continental game last year. Second place would also extend their pursuit of a berth in the 2027 Rugby World Cup. It would earn them a play-off against the second-best side in the equivalent competition in Africa, to be played later in July. Hong Kong comfortably beat the UAE on the opening weekend of competition in Dubai, and are chasing their sixth ARC title in a row. That would give them direct qualification to the World Cup, becoming the second Asian side at the event alongside Japan, who automatically qualified via their finishing position in the last World Cup. While qualifying for the World Cup will still be a considerable challenge if the UAE finish second, Benade says they are focused on consolidating their status as the best side behind trailblazing Hong Kong. 'By winning two [matches, against South Korea and Malaysia] last year, we put a marker down,' Benade said. 'This is where we want to be. We want to be the second-best team in Asian rugby if we can't be the best team. 'We have to learn a lot from Hong Kong, as a union, in terms of how they manage things. Hopefully we can pick up, and finishing second again this year would give us that confidence that we are getting better, we are pushing [for] something special in three or four years. 'It would be very disappointing if we went and lost against Sri Lanka. They are an unbelievably good side. We saw them against New Zealand Under-85[kgs], and we saw how they pushed Korea all the way.' Sri Lanka prepared for the ARC with matches against a touring side from New Zealand. They then lost narrowly at home to South Korea in their first match, before being soundly beaten by Hong Kong. The UAE suffered a similar fate in their opener against Hong Kong, but bounced back to take a thrilling win in South Korea. That was the first time they had won in Korea, having claimed a maiden win against the same opposition on home soil in Dubai a year earlier. 'You could see when the whistle went that the players had really wanted it,' Benade said of the comeback win in Incheon last time out. 'We were very disappointed against Hong Kong. We worked so hard, but it was maybe just one week too early. 'When we hit Korea, the boys were hurt. They wanted to be better. Last week [before the Korea trip] we put five or six training sessions in. That's how much the boys wanted it, and it shows the attitude. 'I have big respect for those boys. They are working in the morning, starting at 7 or 8 o'clock, and finishing at 5 or 6 o'clock to come and train, then going home at 10-11 o'clock. It is holiday season now. 'To then go out and believe we could beat Korea, and the rugby we played, I think is a massive credit to them. I am so proud and happy for them.' Benade said the players are feeling 'excitement and nerves' ahead of the decisive fixture at the Colombo Racecourse ground. 'We thought we would know after the second game [against South Korea] where we are,' Benade said. 'Are we going to fight not to finish fourth? Are we going to fight maybe to win? Or are we going to fight to be second? 'We and Korea and Sri Lanka are so close in terms of points difference that we need that win. For us, it opens the door to give us another opportunity [to try to qualify for the World Cup]. 'It will be a massive, massive task for us. We just need to go out and win. That is all we need: we just need a win. 'We will work hard on our defence. We will maybe change a wee bit how we want to play. Scrummaging, we will have to attack them, and we may have to maul a wee bit, put them under pressure, and keep the ball away from them, because they are very good with the ball in hand. 'It is going to be a very tough game, but how good would it be to finish second and have another bite at the cherry. That is what the boys want to go for. They just want to get another opportunity by going to play in [the play-off].'

Kuwait: Draft law proposes unit to track undeclared earnings
KUWAIT CITY - Attorney Aseel Al-Saif said she submitted a draft law on the establishment of a new police department called the 'Community Investigations Department for the Undeclared Economy' to the office of Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Sharida Al-Maousherji. Al-Saif stated that the department will specialize in uncovering and tracking unverified sources of income in the traditional financial system, particularly in personal status cases related to alimony and custody. She disclosed that the aim is to develop State tools to keep pace with modern economic transformations and promote financial justice in light of the increasing incidence of financial fraud, as some heads of households conceal their actual income to reduce their obligations to their wives and children after separation. She pointed out that 'courts today are confronted with a new reality of undocumented income, such as profits from social media accounts, online sales through unlicensed platforms, income from properties rented without contracts, profits from digital currencies, and cash transfers. This makes proof of income through a bank statement insufficient to fairly estimate alimony.' She revealed this legal move is based on Article 123 of the Personal Status Law, which stipulates that 'alimony is estimated according to the financial status of the supporter -- whether wealthy or poor, while taking into account the status of the beneficiary.' She stated this requires knowledge of actual income, not apparent income. She added, 'Justice is not served if we rely solely on traditional paperwork that conceals undeclared income. Women and children are the first victims of this imbalance. Therefore, we must take legislative action in line with the new economic reality.' The following are the main stipulations of the draft law: - Collection and analysis of information on the parallel economy, such as e-commerce and digital currencies; - Reports of the department are considered valid technical evidence for submission to courts in alimony cases. - The department has the authority to contact banking and financial institutions with a judicial warrant; - Promote social justice and guarantee the rights of divorced women and their children.
