Husband gives triple talaq to wife over girl child; demands dowry

Another case of Triple Talaq has been registered, and this time it is over the birth of a girl child.

The Uttar Pradesh victim alleged that her husband has given her the triple talaq for giving birth to a girl child.

The husband and his parents had thrashed her and demanded her to pay a dowry for giving birth to girl child instead of a boy.

“My husband and his family abused me and have asked to get a bike and money from my parents as I have given birth to a girl and not a boy child,” the victim said.

The victim has married two years ago.

Cases of triple talaq have been making rounds of late. A few days back, a woman was given triple talaq after she served ‘burnt’ chapatis to her husband. The incident took place in Pahretha village of Mahoba district in Uttar Pradesh. The woman also alleged that her husband had inflicted burn injuries on her with cigarettes three days before ‘divorcing’ her by way of triple talaq.

In yet another case, a woman was given triple talaq over the phone and then thrashed and confined to a room without food for a month by her husband over dowry. The woman later died during medical treatment.
