Lahore: Shoaib Malik`s family is waiting for details of the case registered against him on the complaint filed by Ayesha Siddiqui, who claims to be the first wife of the cricketer, at Banjara Hills Police station in Hyderabad.
"We really don`t know what the cases have been made out against Shoaib but our lawyer in India is in touch with Shoaib and with us and is obtaining the copies of the FIR and other details," Shoaib`s brother-in-law Imran Zafar said today.
He made it clear that Shoaib was not the type of person to threaten anyone and Ayesha`s claims that he offered her millions of rupees to keep quiet were ridiculous.
Sources close to Shoaib said that after Ayesha and her family went ahead with filing the police report, the Pakistani cricketer`s mother and family members were worried.
"Contact has also been established with the Pakistan High Commissioner in New Delhi through government channels to see whether this case can become a big problem for Shoaib," one source stated.
Meanwhile, the Pakistani barrister hired by Ayesha said he would file a case against Shoaib in the next few days.
"I am just waiting for some more documents and evidence to come from India after which I will file a case against Shoaib," Farooq Hasan said.
He, however, did not elaborate if he would also file a complaint against Shoaib with the police as Ayesha and her family had done in Hyderabad today.
"I had a detailed discussion with Ayesha and her father today and once they send me more documents I will move ahead," he added.
Hasan said under Pakistani law if Ayesha claimed to be the first wife of Shoaib then he could not enter into a second `nikah` without her permission.
Sources said Hasan is planning to hold a press conference tomorrow to give out details of the cases he will file against Shoaib.
Few takers for Sania-Shoaib wedding in Pakistan
Islamabad: Most Pakistanis think cross-border marriages may be the perfect way to bridge the great divide between their country and India, but they are not giving the Sania Mirza-Shoaib Malik wedding much of a chance.
"I think Sania Mirza is too good for Shoaib Malik. It`s a bad bargain," Ayesha Ansari (name changed), the retired headmistress of an elite school in Pakistan, said.
Ansari claimed she isn`t the only one who thinks like that.
"A lot of Pakistanis I know feel this marriage will not work. It`s a tough one," she said.
However, Ansari is all for Indo-Pakistan marriages. "Such marriages are a good thing. Good for both countries. They explode myths, remove phobias and bring people together."
For most Pakistanis, marriage by itself is a tricky proposition and the Indo-Pakistan situation compounds issues further.
"Mutual attraction, marriage is a good thing. But what happens if the marriage does not last?" asked Sadia Khan, an IT professional.
Ansari herself crossed the border from India many years ago to marry a Pakistani.
Unfortunately her marriage did not last long. Neither did the marriage of her daughter, who decided to settle down with an Indian.
Though Ansari was allowed to live in India on a special visa for several years, she had to eventually return to Pakistan and live the rest of her life as a Pakistani.
"Such marriages are not wrong. The political situation is. Why can`t they offer dual citizenship to people who decide to marry on either side?" Ansari suggested.
"A lot of my Pakistani students are from broken homes. So it`s not that the problem is with Indo-Pakistan marriages alone. Marriages are tricky everywhere," she said.
The "third country solution” in Sania and Shoaib`s case the decision to live in Dubai after the wedding also does not work, according to Ansari.
"You are away from your respective families. I am not sure if that works," she said.
Under the circumstances, several Pakistanis believe Sania`s marriage stands little chance.
The controversy over Shoaib`s reported marriage to Ayesha Siddiqui too has complicated the situation, Ansari said.

Cheating case against Shoaib Malik
The controversy over the alleged first marriage of Shoaib Malik [ Images ] with Hyderabadi girl Ayesha Siddiqui took yet another turn on Sunday with the Banjara Hills police station in Hyderabad registering a cheating case against the Pakistan cricketer.
Police said the case was registered on a complaint by Ahmad Siddiqui that Shoaib had cheated his daughter Ayesha Siddiqui alias Maha Siddiqui.
In his complaint Siddiqui said Shoaib had married his daughter on June 3 2002 over telephone from Pakistan but later deserted her. He enclosed a copy of the Nikahnama (marriage certificate) issued by the authorities in Pakistan.
Siddiqui, who was earlier based in Jeddah Saudi Arabia, alleged that Shoaib is now threatening him.
The Siddiquis lodged the complaint soon after Shoaib admitted, in a written statement, that he had married a girl Ayesha over phone but she was different from the Ayesha Siddiqui who is now claiming to be his wife. He made a counter allegation that Ayesha had cheated him by sending him photos of another girl who was already married.
Shoaib is due to marry Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza on April 15.
