Not fair at all

Mr. Shoaib Malik - Ms. Sania Mirza wedding hurdle has finally been cleared. For those who read times of India online you couldn't have missed the dispute. For those who don't, turns out the cricketer was already married to another girl by name of Ms. Ayesha. 

Times of India has been running articles on this every day for the last couple of weeks and made sure it got the prime time. I was pissed that the paper is giving such importance to this. They had interviews with this lady Ms. Ayesha and they were posting comments from Mr. Shoaib and Ms. Sania also, in the end they managed to keep the issue alive very well. 

Till today Mr. Shoaib kept denying that he ever knew this girl Ms. Ayesha from Hyderabad and denied even meeting her let alone marry.  Today all of a sudden he decided to divorce the girl he has never met. 

The unfair part I am screaming about is the settlement, a paltry Rs 15,000 that too to be paid in 3 installments over 3 months. To top it all, everybody is happy with the settlement. I feel it is one of those settlements that is not even worth the paper it will be printed on.  

I wonder if the TOI forgot to add a couple of 0's in the end.
