Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah married television journalist Nidhi Razdan on Friday. The marriage was solemnised under the Special Marriage Act in Srinagar, according to sources.

Abdullah's marriage to his first wife, Payal, was dissolved by the Supreme Court in July this year. The court agreed to dissolve the marriage after both parties reached a mutual settlement and agreed to withdraw cases against each other.
