Lucknow, July 8: A woman from Uttar Pradesh's Kaushambi has lodged a complaint against her husband, alleging that he pronounced the prohibited triple talaq in front of his relatives in Ghosiyana village within the district. Triple Talaq is a form of marriage dissolution in Muslim Law, whereby a husband can give the divorce to his wife by saying Talaq three times in one row. However, on July 30, 2019, the Parliament of India declared the practice of Triple Talaq illegal and unconstitutional and made it a punishable act from 1 August 2019.
According to a report published by the Times of India, the woman complainant, in her complaint, alleged that the accused assaulted and threatened her with dire consequences multiple times. She further alleged that she was given triple talaq by her husband after she failed to fulfil his dowry demands.
