Nusrat Jahan says her marriage was not valid in India

Trinamool MP Nusrat Jahan has said that her marriage with Nikhil Jain was according to Turkish Law and is not valid in India. Nusrat Jahan  on Wednesday issued a statement saying her marriage with Nikhil Jain was never valid as an interfaith marriage in India requires validation under the Special Marriage Act, which never happened. As the marriage was not legal, valid and tenable, there is no question of divorce, she clarified. "Our separation happened long back, but I did not speak about it as I intended to keep my private life to myself," the Basirhat MP said. The wedding ceremony was done as per Turkish Marriage Regulation, the MP clarified. Nusrat Jahan and Nikhil Jain tied the knot on June 19, 2019.

She accused him of mishandling her money. "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. I have already taken this up with the concerned banking authority and a police complaint shall be filed shortly.
