Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and journalist Nidhi Razdan married in New Delhi on Friday, October 30.

The marriage was solemnised under the Special Marriage Act, sources told PTI, according to *The Hindu*. Family members from both sides served as witnesses, and wedding functions in Srinagar and New Delhi were attended by close relatives. Those present included Abdullah’s parents, Farooq Abdullah and Mollie Abdullah, his three sisters, and Razdan’s parents, veteran journalist M.K. Razdan and Sarla Razdan.

The couple announced the marriage on social media Saturday. Abdullah posted a photograph with Razdan on X and wrote, “A new journey began yesterday.” Razdan shared photographs with the caption, “It’s done bro.” *The Indian Express* reported that a reception was scheduled in Delhi on Saturday.

Abdullah, 56, was previously married to Payal Singh. The Supreme Court dissolved that marriage in July after the two reached a settlement. They had married in 1994, separated in 2011 and have two sons, Zahir and Zamir.

The marriage is also the second for Razdan, 49, a senior journalist known for her years at NDTV and her coverage of national politics and current affairs.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Correct the attribution to reflect that the sources spoke to PTI, as reported by The Hindu. - "PTI sources told *The Hindu*": This misstates the attribution: *The Hindu* reported that sources told PTI, not that PTI sources spoke to *The Hindu*.
