His Ex-Wife Geena Davis Claims That The Couple Were Never Legally Married
As the finalization of divorce was nearing around, Reza who seemed to be unhappier with the T&Cs of the divorce dragged the news into the limelight again.
On 11 September 2018, Geena Davis brought up the hullabaloo that she was never legally married to Reza Jarrahy and the couple never obtained a marriage license.
To add fuels to the fact, she claimed that Reza and she had checked single on tax returns, and they did not own property as a couple and never even had a joint checking or savings account or a joint retirement account. Adding to that, she boasted Jarrahy had never received health insurance through her SAG-AFTRA membership as he did not qualify as a family member.
This will definitely go down as one of the historical divorce sagas as on 21 September 2018, Reza fired back to all the stances Geena had brought up against him. In the documents he presented to the court, it stated,
'Did she lie to everyone when she told them we were married? I certainly intended to marry, and believed I was marrying Geena and our early history together and Geena's own statements in interviews she gave to the press supports that this was her intention as well. Any suggestion that we had no intention of getting legally married is absolutely untrue!'
Building a thick wall against her thin protests, he explained that they did not get a marriage license because Geena never wanted the news to surface out. As well as presenting photographic proof of the wedding, the doctor explained that the ceremony was officiated by both a priest and his own father. Supporting the doctor, his father has also filed in a document regarding his involvement.

However, the court is yet to decide on the matters and the claims and counterclaims will only continue until a verdict is reached!
