UP Man Illegally Gives Wife 'Triple Talaq' Over Support for Police in Sambhal Violence
The woman filed a police complaint after her husband divorced her using the banned practice following her praise of police actions in Sambhal.
- A Moradabad woman, Nida, alleges her husband gave her 'triple talaq' after she praised police handling of recent Sambhal violence.
- The banned practice of 'triple talaq' was declared unconstitutional by India's Supreme Court in 2017 and criminalized in 2019.
- The couple argued after Nida watched a video about the violence in Sambhal, which erupted during a court-ordered mosque survey, killing four people and injuring many, including police.
- Nida claims her husband called her an infidel and divorced her verbally after she expressed support for the police's actions in controlling the unrest.
- Police have received Nida's complaint and are investigating the incident, which also includes allegations of harassment by her husband and in-laws.
