UP: A case has been registered in Uttar Pradesh's Banda against a man accused of issuing instant triple talaq to his wife following a disagreement over dowry. The man reportedly issued the talaq over an unmet demand for a Scorpio car.
Dowry Dispute & Alleged Harassment
The complainant, married in 2015 under Muslim customs, stated that her father provided a dowry of Rs 15 lakh at the time of her marriage. However, since the wedding, the woman alleged that her husband and other in-laws, including five brothers-in-law, continued making additional dowry demands.
When the additional demand, specifically for a Scorpio car, was not fulfilled, she claimed to have faced physical and mental abuse, threats of a second marriage and was reportedly ousted from her marital home in July the previous year.
Triple Talaq Demanded After Dispute
Living at her parental home, the woman disclosed that her husband visited recently and instigated a confrontation, insisting on a Scorpio car as dowry. Upon refusal, he allegedly pronounced instant triple talaq, prompting the woman to file a formal complaint.
Investigation Launched In The Matter
The woman, seeking justice, has demanded action against her husband and in-laws for both dowry harassment and the incident of triple talaq. The police have initiated an investigation into the matter, and efforts are underway to apprehend the accused individuals.
