In yet another flip-flop, the father of Sania Mirza has clarified that the nikaah (marriage) of Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik is not happening today, and will be on April 15 as earlier announced.
This is contrary to strong reports earlier, with one right from the man supposed to have been asked to perform the rites, that the nikaah was going to happen this evening.
The Sania-Shoaib marriage has seen enormous publicity, a good bit of it negative thanks to Shoaib facing allegations of being married already and even arrest. The media was agog this morning and afternoon that the marriage is happening today, and the whole affair, whether or not Sania's family had anything to do with it, now looks nauseatingly unnatural.
