New Delhi: Jaipur 'princess' and BJP legislator Diya Kumari has filed for divorce from Narendra Singh, 21 years after their marriage.
The divorce application was filed at Gandhi Nagar's family court under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. According to reports, the couple had been living separately for a few months, following which both of them decided to approach the court for a mutual separation.
Singh, who belongs to a modest family, had married the the Sawai Madhopur MLA in August 1997 after dating her for nine years.
