UP Woman Claims Husband Gave Her 'Triple Talaq' After Praising PM Modi And CM Yogi For Development In Ayodhya

A Muslim woman in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich has accused her husband of giving her a 'triple talaq' after she praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the development in Ayodhya.

Following her complaint, the police registered an FIR against her husband and several of his family members.

The woman also claimed that she was beaten up by her husband, mother-in-law, and other family members, who even attempted to strangle her.

"I am a resident of Mohalla Sarai, Thana Jarwal Road in Bahraich. On December 13, 2023, I was married to Arshad, son of Islam, a resident of Mohalla Delhi Darwaza in Kotwali Nagar, Ayodhya. My father got me married with the consent of both parties and by spending more than his means,” the woman was quoted as saying by news agency PTI in its report.

“After the marriage, when I went out in the city, I liked the roads of Ayodhya Dham, the beautification, the development, and the atmosphere there. On this, I praised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in front of my husband,” she said.

Following this, her husband reportedly sent her back to her parents' house. He also allegedly threw a pan of hot dal (lentils) at her.

After some time, the woman returned to Ayodhya after intervention from her relatives, Jarwal Road Police Station Incharge Inspector (SHO) Brijraj Prasad said.

However, as per the SHO, the husband abused the Chief Minister, the Prime Minister, and gave her divorce by pronouncing 'talaq, talaq, talaq', India Today reported.

The woman also stated that her husband physically assaulted her on the day he divorced her.

Based on her complaint, the police have filed a case against eight people, including the woman's husband Arshad, mother-in-law Raisha, father-in-law Islam, sister-in-law Kulsum, brother-in-law Faran and Shafaq, and sister-in-law Simran.

The case was filed under the assault, abuse, threat, and Dowry Prohibition Act and the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, the police stated.
