Noida: A woman in Noida has alleged that her husband, who had eloped
with her younger sister a few months ago, had divorced her over phone by
uttering the word talaq thrice, police said today.
The Supreme Court had in August last year ruled that the practice of
divorce through triple talaq among Muslims was “void”, “illegal” and
“unconstitutional”.
“The police a few months ago had received a complaint that a man had
eloped with his sister-in-law,” Station House Officer (SHO), Dadri, Ram Sen
Singh said.
Later, they were traced and produced before a magistrate’s court here.
Her statement was recorded and she was allowed to go as she was married
and had submitted a marriage certificate, he said.
“Now, the elder sister (the aggrieved woman) has alleged that when she
had called her husband to inquire about the marriage, her husband gave her
divorce by saying the word talaq thrice on phone,” the SHO said.
The woman also claimed that her younger sister had hidden her marital
status before the court, Singh said.
