LUCKNOW: A woman was given
triple talaq by her husband within two months of marriage after her family failed to give him a sports bike and Rs 1 lakh in dowry.
The incident took place in Gonda on August 13.
In her complaint, Gulchaman (28) of Katra Bazar alleged that after harassing her over dowry, her husband Dilawar Khan got agitated over the taste of food prepared by her and pronounced talaq thrice.
More than a hundred cases of triple talaq have been reported in the state since triple talaq bill was passed in the parliament in July.
“I married Dilawar in June but soon after the marriage, my husband and his family started ill-treating me over dowry. I returned to my parents’ place last week,” the woman told police.
“Dilawar Khan, his father Jameel and mother Sehrul Begum barged into my room on August 13 and tore my clothes. They threatened me with dire consequences if my family did not meet their dowry demand. I pleaded them not to harass me but they did not relent. Later, while I was serving dinner, Dilawar got furious over the taste of food and gave me talaq,” she added.
SP, Gonda RK Nayyar said a case had been registered against Dilawar and his family members for voluntarily causing hurt, subjecting a woman to cruelty and criminal intimidation, and under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019.
