Lahore, Feb 5 : Pakistani cricket team captain Shoaib Malik has denied that he had married an Indian girl named Ayesha saying that he would file suit in this regard.

Malik's brother-in-law Imran Zafar said that this was merely an Internet love affair, which started in 2001.

The girl with whom Shoaib Malik was chatting was mailing the picture of another girl to Malik, Zafar told reporters.

He went on to say that the pictures of the girl are with Malik, but he does not want to play with her honour.

This marriage scandal is a fraud as no nikah or rukhsati took place and the parents of Ayesha are dishonouring the religion, The News quoted Zafar, as saying.

Ayehsa's parents had invited the Pakistan cricket team at dinner in 2005, but they did not show the girl on the insistence of Inzamam-ul-Haq nor they arranged any meeting with her despite his efforts, said Zafar, adding that this incident has revealed that it was all fraud and the matter was ended in 2005.
