Sangeetha Sornalingam, wife of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay, withdrew her divorce petition on Friday, prompting the Chengalpattu family court to close the case. She appeared via video-conferencing and explained her reasons for not pursuing the matter, PTI reported quoting court sources.

Sangeetha had filed the plea in February 2026 under the Special Marriage Act, alleging adultery, mental cruelty, neglect and desertion. She claimed her husband was involved in an extramarital relationship with an actress. The couple, married in 1999, have two children. The court had earlier adjourned the case on June 15 for a hearing on August 7.

The withdrawal has sparked reunion speculation, but reading too much into it misses the point. The original petition detailed serious allegations, and a withdrawal can be tactical or personal. Fans and media should resist romanticising this as a patch-up. The real test will be whether the couple appears together publicly or issues a joint statement clarifying their status. Until then, quiet inferences from a legal move prove nothing.
