While triple talaq bill is scheduled to be tabled in the Parliameꦕnt tomorrow, a woman in Uttar 𓃲Pradesh today woke up to find her husband uttering the three dreaded words.
Gul Afshan, a residentജ of Azimnagar in Rampur distri༒ct, said that her husband Qasim thrashed her and divorced her by uttering talaq thrice because she woke up late in the morning.
The wife alleged that later, Qasim escape♌d from the house after locking her up inside. The police had to break in.
Narrating her six-month-old abusive marriage, she said that he used to beat her from ๊the very beginning.
The police said that they can't do anything as the woman has not filed a complaint against൲ her hꦇusband as of now.
"The woman has not filed𝓡 an FIR as yet. We will take action against him once the comp💃laint is lodged," said Sanjay Yadav, Azimanagar SHO.
The incident comes to light just🅘 ahead of the introduction of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill.
The bill, which seeks to criminalise the practice of triple talaq, will be tabled in the Lok Sabha by Union Law Minister Ravi ⭕Shankar Prasad on Thursday.
While the Supreme Court 🐼and Centre have called for the scrapping of the triple talaq, terming it "illegal and unconstitutional", some Muslim women are still facing the brunt of this age-old practice.
Earlier, the Supreme Court declared the practice of instant divorce as void and unconstitutional and termed it as arbitrar﷽y and v💜iolative of the right to equality of Muslim women.
