Wife celebrates anti-triple talaq bill; husband divorces her

Banda(UP): Displeased by his wife celebrating the approval of Anti-triple talaq bill passed by the parliament, a Muslim man gave instant triple talaq to his wife and removed her from his house in Fatehpur district, newspaper reports said.

“Mufeeda Khatun, a resident of Jungi village under Bindki police station of Uttar Pradesh celebrated the passage of the Anti-triple talaq bill.

“This angered her husband Shamsuddin who removed her from his house on August 3 after giving her instant triple talaq,” said Bindki’s circle officer Abhishek Tiwari.

The police have registered a case against Shamsuddin on a complaint registered by his wife.

In her complaint, Mufeeda said her husband reached her home and divorced her instantly by saying ‘Talaq’ thrice in front of her parents.

The parliament on July 30 had approved the bill that makes instant Triple Talaq a criminal offense.

Lok Sabha had passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) bill last week.
