Muzaffarnagar, Aug 8: A disgruntled wife of a non-resident Indian in Uttar Pradesh, has claimed that her husband, who works in Kuwait as a labourer divorced her through instant triple talaq on WhatsApp.
The development comes after the woman filed a dowry and harassment case against her husband and his family following a prolonged fight.
The case assumes significance in the wake of Indian Parliament passing a controversial bill criminalizing the instant triple talaq.
Police said the dowry and harassment case was filed against the man and his family on May 27 by the woman, alleging that he demanded Rs 5 lakh from her.
Police said the accused pressured the woman, who is from Bihari village under Sikheda police station in the district, to withdraw the case, but she refused.
On Wednesday, the woman approached the police alleging that her husband divorced her through triple talaq using WhatsApp from Kuwait, they said. The woman is now urging the police to arrest her husband and send him to jail as per new law.
Sikheda police station SHO Ajay Kumar said the police are investigating the case.
