Hyderabad, November 1: In another case of triple talaq, a woman named Rukhsana Begum was given instant divorce by her husband Mustafa for allegedly having misaligned teeth. According to an ANI tweet, she said, "He abused me for months. One day, he uttered 'talaq' thrice and left. When I called him, he said there was no relation between us. I want justice"

Several cases of triple talaq continue to be reported, even after the government has declared it to be a criminal offence. In another recent case, a woman was given triple talaq after she asked her husband for Rs 30 to buy medicines.

In another case in August, a murder convict allegedly gave triple talaq to his wife in the prison for not gifting him a new ‘kurta-pyjama’ on Eid. Several such cases continue to get reported every month inspite of the government taking a strong stand against it. In July, the government had last month passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2019 that criminalises instant triple talaq.
