According to reports, Ali had initially attempted to save the marriage for the sake of his young daughter. The couple had been married for seven years following a one-year courtship, and their daughter was born two years into the union. However, Ali claimed that his wife repeatedly eloped with her lover and abandoned the family, leaving him emotionally distressed. "I stayed silent for the sake of our family's peace," he said.
He reportedly filed for divorce after efforts at reconciliation failed. "I tried to keep her with me, but she didn't change. She kept eloping, and I couldn't tolerate it anymore," he said.
He added that his advocate informed him that the divorce had been finalised, prompting him to celebrate in such a manner. "I promised myself I would bathe in milk once the divorce came through, and I did," Ali said.
