Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's Wife Withdraws Divorce Petition, Case Closed

Analysed 7 Aug 2026·20 sources analysed·Tamil Nadu, India·Politics
Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's Wife Withdraws Divorce Petition, Case ClosedPreviousNext

Sangeetha, wife of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, withdrew her divorce petition filed in December 2025, leading to the formal closure of the case by the Chengalpattu Family Court. The petition had alleged Vijay's extramarital relationship with an actress, emotional abandonment, and mental cruelty. The couple, married since 1999 with two children, had faced multiple court adjournments amid political and public attention. Neither party has publicly commented on the withdrawal, which ends months of legal proceedings.
