Just days after the Triple Talaq Bill was passed by the parliament, a woman from Jharkhand filed an FIR against her husband for giving her the Triple Talaq last month.
The complaint was registered by Subeda Khatoon, who has 3 children and filed it against Dildaraj Ansari for giving her triple talaq last month.
Subeda said that she was thrown out from the house and was usually thrashed by Ansari for dowry.
The police said that they registered the FIR under the 498-A (punishment for subjecting a married woman to cruelty) of the Indian Penal Code and the Dowry Act.
A senior police officer said, “We are studying this case carefully to ascertain whether triple talaq bill provision is applicable in this case or not.”
The officer added, “But he said that action against the husband will be initiated under 498-A and the Dowry Act.”
An investigation has been launched.
