PATNA: A woman in the Rohtas region of Bihar said her husband gave her the "triple talaq" over the phone.
The victim, Tarannum, registered a complaint in women's police station in Rohtas seeking justice on the matter.
If found guilty of giving triple talaq, the accused might spend up to three years in prison under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act.
"My spouse lives in Ranchi and is wed to a different woman. I didn't know about it. When some of my relatives visited Neel Kothi area in Dehri town, Rohtas district, they questioned me about why I did not protest my husband Shoyab's behaviour. Shoyab assaulted me and uttered the word talaq three times when I phoned him to inquire. He terminated the phone and told me to leave his Rohtas home "said Tarannum.
"I got married to Shoyab on May 30, 2014. He took me to Ranchi, but he treated me horribly the entire time. He used to let other girls into the house while making me spend hours outside. I remained there for ten days before going back to Rohtas. When I told Shoyab's mother about his immoral behaviour, she acknowledged that she was aware of it and anticipated that I would reorient him "said Tarannum.
"At the beginning of our marriage, Shoyab also requested money, and my parents gave it to him. My parents refused to give the money as his demands grew daily "She said. "I now have a daughter who is five years old. Our future is in dark," Tarranum said.
