Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah announced his marriage to journalist Nidhi Razdan via social media, marking a new chapter after the Supreme Court granted him a divorce from his estranged wife, Payal Abdullah. 

Omar and Payal, married in 1994 with two sons, had separated in 2009. The Supreme Court dissolved their marriage by mutual consent in July 2026, following their joint application and withdrawal of related cases. 

This follows Omar's challenge to the Delhi High Court's earlier refusal to grant divorce.
