A case has been registered against a 26-year-old man in Thane district for allegedly giving ‘triple talaq’ (instant divorce) to his wife, beating her up, and harassing her for money.
According to the police complaint filed by the victim, she was subjected to harassment since March 2022 by her husband and his family members. The family demanded ₹ 50,000 from her as they claimed they were not given dowry for her marriage.
The woman alleged that her husband and his family members physically and mentally tortured her. She claimed that her husband beat her up by tying her hands and legs and threatened to kill her. The husband eventually annulled the marriage through ‘triple talaq’, which was banned in 2019.
A case was registered on Saturday against the woman’s husband, his mother, two sisters, and a brother-in-law under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019.
