Back in 2017-2018, Deepak Tijori was caught up in what can be said as a rather peculiar case of divorce from his wife, Shivani.

Interestingly, as the duo continued with their divorce proceedings and had to discuss the same primarily with a marriage counsellor, Deepak was shocked to learn that their marriage was never legal in the first place. According to a report back in the day, it was stated that Shivani had never divorced her ex-husband before tying the knot with Deepak.

“Can a person be married for 26 years and realize that their marriage is null and void?

On the other hand, without accepting or rejecting the viral speculations of their marriage never being legal in the first place, Shivani on the contrary had reportedly quoted in a media portal about the need for deserving an alimony from her estranged husband so as to fulfil the needs of herself and their daughter. She had mentioned:
“I am a deserted wife. I cannot maintain my expenses. My husband is liable to do the needful for me and my daughter."
