The couple got married in December 2020 and were very popular on social media. They got separated in June 2022. They applied for divorce on February 5, before the Family Court, based on mutual consent, and also sought to waive the cooling-off period. The family court denied the request to waive the cooling-off period, citing reasons such as only partial compliance with consent terms, where Chahal was required to pay 4.75 crores INR to Dhanashree Verma. The cricketer had only paid 2.37 crores INR. The family court had also cited that the marriage counselor had reported that there was only "partial compliance with the medition efforts".

Yuzvendra Chahal and his partner Dhanashree Verma have been living separately from each other for the past two and a half years, and, as per the report, there was "compliance with the consent terms arrived at during mediation between the two parties as regards payment of alimony." These factors were taken into consideration by the court before passing the order. The Bombay High Court had noticed that the consent terms did mention that the second installment of the alimony would only be paid after the decree of divorce, so they allowed the request.
