Chand faxed to PTI office in New Delhi two pages of "Memorandum of Divorce" sent to "Fiza Beghum" from Illford, Essex, UK saying he has divorced her through "telephone conversation" from the Notary Public Office there.
The divorce was also confirmed through SMS message sent to the two mobile numbers of Fiza, he said adding, two demand drafts have been sent to her -- Rs 5 lakh as "mehr" and Rs 15,000 towards three months' maintenance expenses starting from March 13, 2009.
Earlier in the day, 37-year-old Fiza told reporters in Mohali that Chand had telephoned her last night and uttered "talaq" (divorce) word three times.
She later said that she had not received any Memorandum of Divorce or the demand drafts.
Fiza said she had consulted Supreme Court lawyers and Muslim clerics who had told her that divorce through telephone and SMS message was "not acceptable". "It should come before a Qazi (priest)," she quoted the lawyers and clerics as having told her.
In the memorandum, 43-year-old Chand charged Fiza with levelling "false" and "highly objectionable" allegations against him. He also justified his having faxed the memorandum of divorce to the media by telling Fiza. "I am compelled to inform the press about the above said action taken by me as you have gone public, speaking badly about me." Chand said the "vicious propaganda" launched by her has made it impossible for him to continue the marriage."
You have even gone to the extent of making false and highly objectionable allegations against me publicly and even to the authorities," Chand told Fiza.
He also justified his having faxed the memorandum of divorce to the media by telling Fiza. "I am also painfully compelled to inform the press about the above said action taken by me as you have gone public, speaking badly about me."
Chand said the "vicious propaganda" launched by her has made it impossible for him to continue the marriage. The mehr was sent through a DD drawn on State Bank of India payable at Chandigarh. Another DD for Rs 15,000 was also sent with the MOD, he said.
Fiza said he should personally appear before her. "If he wants to give talaaq he should do as per Muslim rituals. This (through a telephone call and SMS) is not the right way." She charged Chand with having misused Islam. "How strange ... convert to Islam, marry a woman, use her body and then throw the woman out."
Chand, formerly Chander Mohan, married ex-Assistant Advocate General of Haryana Anuradha Bali alias Fiza in December last year after both of them converted to Islam.
Chand was already married and had three children. They later fell out and Fiza filed a complaint with the Mohali police charging Chand with rape, cheating, defamation and hurting her religious sentiments. Fiza said on Saturday that she will file a fresh complaint with police as no action has been taken so far on the earlier complaint.
Chand in his memorandum told Fiza, "I have spoken to you today by telephone conversation, on the 13th of March 2009, from the Notary Public Office and in front (of) the Notary Public there."
He said he called her on her mobile number. "You answered my call and I clearly told you three times: Talaq, Talaq, Talaq (I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you.)" The call was followed by an SMS message to her two mobile numbers, the elder son of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhajan Lal said.
"I also told you that because of your vicious propaganda and bad behaviour, it is not possible for me to continue in marriage with you and it is therefore that I have divorced you," he added.
He said he was sending the memorandum of divorce "in confirmation of my above said conversation with you." Fiza said, "I knew beforehand that this will happen. I am not able to understand what prompted him to this action as it was surprising that after professing blind love for me he did not care to come when I was in hospital."
"He telephoned me last night and used talaq (divorce) word three times. His call came from a number which appeared to have been made from London," Fiza said adding, he also sent an SMS to her mentioning 'talaq' in the text message.
"He talked to me briefly and his language was threatening and very impolite," she said adding, Chand had offered her a compensation of Rs five lakh, which she refused.
"I will be filing a fresh complaint with the police since no action has been taken so far on my earlier complaint. He (Chand) has ruined my life. Yesterday, he also threatened me of dire consequences if I continued to rake up the case," Fiza alleged.
Fiza had recently threatened to move court against Chand claiming that Mohali Police had failed to act on her complaint against him.
"I was not hoping to get any justice from police as they failed to act on my compliant against the sitting MLA (Chander Mohan is sitting Congress MLA from Kalka)," she had said four days back.
She claimed that Mohali police were under pressure from Chand Mohammad's family.
However, Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police Jatinder Singh Aulakh had said acting on Fiza's complaint, they had got an inquiry conducted by the SP (city) and even legal opinion was sought but they found no offence by Chand Mohammad and hence they "will not file any case against him".

i have same doubt on similar case, whether i should go towards fiza, r u say wat chand did is right, wheather fiza should get proper maintenance, please can u help me on this questions
This so called Chand is a sly married man looking around for greener pastures.Being married he should not have cheated on his wife.Well he did not divorce his first wife and apparently had no intentions of doing so in future also.So his ( and Fizas ) conscience is clear.Fiza was single and flattered by the attention of a well placed admirer.Hats off to her that she managed to make him / convince him to marry her by hook or by crook.Married men are sly creatures and dont fall into this trap.But the sorry aspect was the misuse of a religion to suit personal selfish ends.Fiza was free to marry whomsoevershe wished to. It was Chand who misused a religion to get over the hurdle of being an already married man.It is Chand who should be condemned.
What is Fiza wailing about?! The fact that the man she calls her husband is not with her but with another woman?? Isn't that just what she subjected Chand's first wife to? What goes around comes around...its just Karma...and she should learn her lesson from this sorry episode in her life. Don't play around with married men and then cry when they play around with you.Do as you would be done by...and you won't get hurt.
Regarding Fiza alias Anuradha, I feel is a shameless lady who tried to use her charms to encash contacts of a rich family in Haryana. She wanted somehow to be associated with Bhajanlal family and reach top of fame in very short time. She forgot that in this process she has already ruined life of wife and kids of Chander mohan alias chand mohan with no fault of theirs. Now she is crying at top of her voice claiming that being a woman she has been misused. Did she ever think being a woman if she ever had a right to ruin the life of another woman and her kids. What she wants to achieve is a easy publicity in very short time. In fact she is succeeding in her goals by creating this type of drama. I dont think any body has any sort of sympathy with her. This does not mean Cahnder Mohan is innocent. He has also ruined the reputation of a vetran politician like Bhajan lal by bringing bhajan lal family name in this filthy affair. he does not carry iota of values of bhajan lal family.
What is the significance of this news? Two private individuals shamelessly using media to wash their dirty linen in public and the ever supplicant media falling for it. Does it matter to the common man as to what they do and dont do. Let us not create monsters or saints out of people who deserve to be left alone and fight their battle in court of law or privately. There are other burning issues which needs to be addressed by the media than this cheap show of false affection and love
you cannot say talaq three times and get a divorce in Islam. Actually this is somebodies personel problem and there is nothing VERY GOOD in saying as Mr.Murali says or there is no rationality in the comments what Mr.Anil kumar says. If you want to know the rights of women in Islam google- womens rights in Islam by Dr.Zakir Naik.A world renowned comparitive religious expert. Do not learn religion from cheap sources.
It is very clear. Chandra Mohan wanted to marry Fiza to satisfy his sexual desire and hence took this route to conversion and when he satsfied his lust he deserted her. Now where are those NGO's and NCW which normally are very active, especially when crimes take place agsint women in BJP ruled states. Chandra Mohan aka Chand Mohammed has fooled Fiza and as she rightly said he used her body. This is very shameful for a public figure. Afterall Chandra Mohan was dEPUTY cm AND DO WE WANT SUCH ROTTN POLITICIANS IN OUR MIDST. This is height of shamelessness. And yes, why our so called NGO's are womens rights organisations keeping quite. Why these double standards ?
Its insane that all the time we do get the religion/faith in between our likes and dislikes, our gain and losses and its all the time for our own interest we use the cover of religion, Specially, these high profile people are the worst living creatures who are a stain on the religion and the community, what ever it is, Islam, Christianity or the Hinduism. Divorce is not a religious issue it’s a personal one.
fiza want publicity that is why she has done this,she know ki chander mohan is rich and politician so she used him infact she is so mean coz she know as a women she got sympathy that is why she used words like he used me and raped me but mam fiza u are a lawyer u should know it that sex with consent of boyh is not rape.
A question one should ask before marriage or indulging in sex (live in relationship) like Chand and Fiza. Is it necessary to convert from one religion to another religion and then marry and divorce ? A lesson every Indian and youth should learn to keep religion away from sexual relationships and taking advantage of religion. Religion and faith are spirtualistic and pure than so called love , lust and other human desires portrayed by Film artistes , Chands and Fizas
fiza should never compromise her dignity and teach chand the lesson he deserves fiza should also be bold enough and everyone of her choice can marry her including me but till last she should neither forgive nor forget such persons however miehty he may be good luck to fiza for ever long live fiza yours gullu
Why should a sensible paper like Indian Export give so much space and important to cinics like Fiza and Chand, who can discard their religion for lust. IE should devote this space for some better cause.
The 1000 - word memorandum "written" by Chand Mohammed, the guy who can barely utter 3 words, is another joke. Right or wrong, let their destiny decide the course of their lives. Save this space for something important and less spicy.
This is mere for publicity,people and media should not give importance to them.
Bottom line is that he cheated her. No doubt about it. And he should be punished for it. But apparently, she will not get any justice because he belongs to a politically strong family. So much for democracy in India.
only solution is uniform civil code, all religious beliefs supposed to be personal choice within limits of one personal limits. as a country there should be one law
NO need to blame any religion, I feel like this is a very personal matter between two persons. They know each other better and are paying for their own acts. We should stop blaming anybody, especially any religion in this matter.
Well once this comes out as news everybody has right to comment and criticize.Gone through comments I didn't find anyone blaming religion.Moreover this kind of relationship is condemned by Islamic authority itself.They had openly said any conversion done for mere marriage purpose is illegal and the marriage is invalid.Such people like Chand and Fiza(?)are spoil/destroy the norms of every decent society and are black-spot,blasphemous to every religion.Both of them had hidden greedy interests and thought to be smart in exploiting the other.Both are equally faulty and to be blamed.No symapathy for any of them and must be punished under legitimate law.Chand should have taken divorce first and Fiza shoould have confirmed by asking court decision/judgement of the divorce before marrying.They are old enough and have some education and conversion was their legitimate right.
MY SIMPLE QUESTION TO FIZA IS, "YOU ARE CRIBBING OVER CHANDER HAVING DUMPED YOU, BUT DID YOU EVER THINK BEFORE PLUNGING INTO AFFAIR WITH CHANDER ABOUT HIS WIFE
Had she not responded , he would have harmed her physically being a DyCM.Poor lady, she was first tricked and then defrauded and now is being intimidated. God save the respect of women in this nation
well done anil kumar this fiza is no saint she was just looking to make a killing by getting chander mohan.This was expected if one were to recollect the slogan of the eighties it said HARYANA KE TEEN DALAL BHAJAN,BANSI AUR DEVILAL.fiza asked for it and cared a dam for his poor wife now she got it.
Send both chand and fiza to jail. they are simply making mockery of a religion and the auspicious institution like marrige. Both are insane and right place for them is jail only.
What a fantastic relegion in the earth? if u want marry as many as 4.It isvery east in this relegion.women having no value.its 1000% true.Keep it up.Fiza deserve this.
Mr Khan, blaming Islam for the actions of some individuals is not worthy of a gentleman.Please learn to correct yourself if you wish to be good and just.Sadly at this moment, your comments reflect the opposite.Islam stands for peace, for the poor and a just society.Please read neutrally about Islam and get correct knowledge before you commend about Islam.That is the right way to do.
Good tamasha, What kind of religion, what kind of people. Good lesson indeed.
Dekho Maza pyar ka - also enjoy Islam religion, a quick marriage to enjoy second wife or avoid first wife and also to end any marriage any time by three words only.
this is to inform you guys that these stupid people have misused the priviledge given in islam of divorce. islam guarantees female rights and thats the reason it has this priviledge, unlike other religion where woman are set ablaze to get rid of , so better think before you say.
Ms. MohsinaIn Hindu religion woman gets highest respect and is given higher status than males. Its only mideval period distortions crept in hindu society because of muslim invaders woman started giving their life by setting themselves ablaze alive and using veils. Now again in independent india Hindu female are capturing its glory back and no longer use veils and go to aquire education at par with males. See how many chief miniters, president, prime ministers, industrialist, film stars are hindu females.
Ms. Mohsina, being a women you are praising Islam. it is very surprising. Women have no rights in Islam, what to talk about Divorce. Even rape as per Islam has to be witnessed by two independent non related winesses. So please don't speak of women rights. As per Islam women can not even talk to non- relative males. This is a 100% male dominated religion. If you have doubts about my writings, please google 'WAFA SULTAN', a Muslim doctor, it will enlighten you. Bride burning is more in other faiths but don't think that Muslim women have never been torched by there husbands, you may check court records for that. So before penning down check the facts or study Islam. Little knowledge is too dangerous.
Mr Anil Kumar, if you have true knowledge about Islam and you have just sense of judgment, you would not write the above phrases with the only intention of defaming Islam.Please read Quran and find out for yourself that Islam encourages getting true knowledge and your statements about Islam are simply wrong and coming just from your own ignorance.
Anil you are talking about knowledge. Sorry dont talk about knowledge if had this then you never talk about this.
You are very correct Mr. Anil, you have answered your own argument. Little knowledge that you have about Islam is too dangerous. These two who are making a cheap "tamasha" of thier marriage in the name of Islam, they have only used Islam to satisfy thier lust and nothing more than that. Neither the marriage nor the Divorce is so easy in any religion as these people thought to be. Some stupid advisor guided them to accept Islam for the sake of satisfying thier lust they accepted islam and got married, and again some body advised to get out of thier mess to pronounce divorce under the pretext of Islam. They have made a mockery of both thier marriage, and the sanctity of a relgion. Well its difficult for you to understand what it takes to get married and also to pronounce divorce in Islam. Its simply not so easy and a sail thru decision to divorce in Islam too. You mean these two perverted comys were perfectly corerct when they were Hindus and Islam opened the door to make fun of their marriage.If you say yes! I must say yoyr Little knowledge about Islam certainly dangerous.
