Man in Thane’s Mumbra gives ‘triple talaq’ to wife for going alone for walk; case filed
A 31-year-old man in Maharashtra's Thane district has been booked for allegedly giving 'triple talaq' to his wife.
Police in Maharashtra’s Thane district have booked a 31-year-old man for allegedly giving ‘triple talaq’ (divorce) to his wife, an official said, as reported by PTI.
What is Triple Talaq?
‘Triple talaq’ is a form of Islamic divorce that allows a Muslim man to divorce his wife by saying the word ‘talaq’ three times.
What happened in the recent Thane case?
The official told PTI that the accused, a resident of the Mumbra area, called the father of his 25-year-old wife on Tuesday and said he was annulling his marriage through ‘triple talaq’— a practice now a criminal offence since 2019—because she had gone for a walk alone.
Following a complaint from his wife, the police filed an FIR on Wednesday against the man under Section 351(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for criminal intimidation and the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act.
In a recent incident, a woman from Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh made headlines after her husband gave her ‘triple talaq’ for supporting police action following Sambhal violence.
The woman alleged that while she was watching a video linked to the recent Sambhal violence, her support for police action infuriated her husband, Ejazul. He asked her to stop watching the video. However, when she refused to comply and continued watching the clip, her husband divorced her by saying 'talaq' three times.
Last year in April, a 45-year-old man from Odisha allegedly handed out a divorce to his wife by 'triple talaq' after she confessed to losing ₹1.5 lakh to cybercriminals.
The state police booked the accused for divorcing his 32-year-old wife. The person was booked after his wife lodged a complaint with the police alleging that her husband uttered 'talaq' three times when he came to know that she lost ₹1.5 lakh to cyber frauds.
