Lucknow: Over a video call from Saudi Arabia, a guy in Kanpur handed his wife triple talaq because she had shaped her eyebrows against his preferences. The woman, Gulsaba, reported the October 4 event to the police, which led to its discovery. She also claimed that her in-laws were pressuring her for the dowry.
A complaint has been filed in accordance with the Muslim Marriage Act.
Gulsaba got married to Mohammad Salim from Prayagraj in January 2022.
Salim, who lives in Saudi Arabia, was talking to Gulsaba over video call when he noticed her eyebrows and asked why she didn’t seek his permission. Out of anger, he pronounced triple talaq on her and told her she was free to do whatever she wants.
The practice of triple talaq had been declared illegal and unconstitutional in the country in 2019.
