Lucknow, Oct 15 (DHNS): Amid the raging debate on the uniform civil code and reforming of personal laws, a man divorced his wife from abroad over telephone through triple talaq.
According to the reports, Shahnawaz, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur district, about 500 km from here, called his wife a few days ago and pronounced the word ‘talaq’ thrice and severed all relations with her.
“He (husband) called me and started abusing me the moment I said salam (paying respect)....and then suddenly he said talaq thrice,” said Afreen (name changed), the victim.
“Tujhe azad kar diya (I have freed you),” she said repeating her husband’s words.
Afreen, hailing from Muzaffarnagar district, was married to Shahnawaz two years ago and has a daughter. “Everything was fine until the birth of the baby...the attitude of my husband and his family members changed suddenly,” she said.
