A software engineer from Kalyan, Maharashtra is facing legal action after allegedly giving his wife triple talaq after she refused to comply with his shocking demand. The incident, which surfaced on December 19, saw the 45-year-old man reportedly ask his 28-year-old wife to have an intimate relationship with her boss at a party. The matter went further when the man pressured his wife to get Rs 15 lakh from her parents to support her first wife.
He has been booked for granting instant triple talaq to his second wife, a criminal offense under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019. The incident unfolded after the man resisted repeated requests.
The victim, who married the accused in January this year, reportedly enjoyed a happy relationship initially. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when her husband started harassing her, demanding Rs 15 lakh, saying he needed money to divorce his first wife. The harassment escalated when she allegedly pressured her to sleep with her boss at a party.
On her refusal, the man resorted to physical abuse and finally pronounced instant triple talaq before throwing her out of the house. A case has been registered against him under Sections 115(2), 351(2), 351(3), and 352 of the Indian Penal Code as well as relevant provisions of the 2019 Act.
After enduring this traumatic experience, the wife approached the Sambhaji Nagar police station on December 19 and complained about her husband. The next day, the case was transferred to the Bazarpeth police station in Kalyan for further investigation.
In a separate incident, a woman from Uttar Pradesh's Moradabad grabbed attention after her husband pronounced 'triple talaq' against her for supporting police action after the Sambal violence.
In April last year, a 45-year-old man from Odisha divorced his 32-year-old wife through 'triple talaq' after admitting she had lost Rs 1.5 lakh to cyber fraudsters. Following her complaint, the state police registered a case against the man, accusing him of uttering 'talaq' three times after learning about the financial loss.
