Triple talaq allegation: Karnataka woman files complaint against NRI husband, in-laws

BENGALURU: A case was registered at Brahmavar police station in Udupi after a 32-year-old woman lodged a complaint stating that her husband, currently employed in Oman, unilaterally issued triple talaq against her.

The complainant stated that she married Mohammad Haris on May 24, 2013, according to Muslim customs, and the couple had a 10-year-old son. She alleged that her husband's father, brother and mother, who reside in the family home, harassed her over petty issues, humiliated her and verbally abused her. She claimed that due to the constant provocation of her in-laws, her husband argued with her frequently.

On Dec 10 last year, her brother-in-law reportedly caused emotional distress to the complainant. A day before the incident, her husband allegedly sent a registered letter to the complainant's house, her workplace and the Honnala Jamaat, illegally and against her will, declaring triple talaq.

The husband is also accused of making arrangements to marry another woman. Following the complaint, police registered a case under Sections 85 and 3(5) of BNS and Section 4 of The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act. tnn
