A man pronounced triple talaq against his 19-year-old wife in a Pilibhit village on Monday, allegedly for not serving hot vegetables for dinner.
The woman lodged an FIR against her husband and three other members of her in-laws’ family under section 3/4 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 as well as Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 498-A (for domestic violence), 323 (for voluntarily causing hurt), 354 (for using criminal force on woman) and 504 (for insulting) with Puranpur police station, said police.
According to the police complaint, the woman, Umra, alleged that she was married to Mohd Salman of Rajaganj locality on May 23, 2021, as per Muslim customs. She alleged that the in-laws did not take her along with them as her family failed to give the dowry demanded by the accused and his family. Umra said she was taken to her in-laws’ place only when her mother arranged the dowry on August 8, 2021. “Despite giving dowry, the people from the groom’s side were not happy,” she added.
