HYDERABAD, 28 June 2006 — Manolya Onur, former Miss Turkey, won a decade-long legal battle against her former husband and former 8th Nizam of Hyderabad, Prince Mukarram Jah.
District and Sessions Judge of Family Court at Hyderabad on Monday, pronouncing the judgment in a petition filed by Manolya, ordered the prince to pay compensation amounting to approximately $3 million to Manolya and their 15-year-old daughter Nilofer Jah. Manolya is the third former wife of the prince.
Manolya Onur, Miss Turkey 1987, had met the prince in Turkey and married him in Hyderabad on August 1, 1990. But, like the previous two marriages of the prince, this, too, ended in divorce in 1993 and since then Manolya had been fighting a legal battle for the execution of the divorce settlement.
