# Tamil Nadu CM Vijay’s wife withdraws divorce petition 2026-08-08T05:47:01+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Sangeetha, wife of Tamil Nadu chief minister C Joseph Vijay, on Friday withdrew her divorce petition from the Chengalpattu family court. Judge D Sujatha allowed the withdrawal after Sangeetha appeared via video conference and confirmed her wish. Vijay’s counsel had no objection. The court granted her liberty to file a fresh petition if needed. Sangeetha had filed the petition in February under the Special Marriage Act, alleging adultery and mental cruelty. She had also sought maintenance and the right to live in the couple’s Neelankarai residence. At the last hearing in June, both had failed to appear, and lawyers had sought virtual appearances citing security concerns. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Chengalpattu court, CM, divorce petition, Sangeetha, Tamil Nadu, Vijay Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/tamil-nadu-cm-vijays-wife-withdraws-divorce-petition/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
