Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's Divorce Hearing Adjourned to August 7 Amid Adultery Allegations in Sangeetha Sornalingam Petition

The court adjourned the petition after both sides appeared in person, with Sangeetha alleging infidelity, mental cruelty and financial restrictions in her plea.

  • On Monday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar and his estranged wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, appeared at the Chengalpattu Mahila Court for their divorce hearing, which was adjourned to August 7.
  • Sangeetha filed for divorce earlier this year, leveling allegations of infidelity and "mental cruelty" against the actor-turned-politician, maintaining the relationship caused her "deep emotional pain and mental suffering, amounting to betrayal and violation of marital trust."
  • Married since August 25, 1999, the couple has two children, Jason Sanjay and Dhivya Sasha; Sangeetha alleged the infidelity began in 2021, claiming Vijay ignored assurances to end the affair while imposing financial restrictions.
  • Following a missed hearing on April 20 where only lawyers appeared, the court rejected requests for virtual attendance and ordered both parties to attend the June 15 session in person.
  • Vijay has recently transitioned into politics, leading his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, to a major electoral victory and taking the oath as Chief Minister on May 10.
