A woman filed a complaint against her husband at Uttar Pradesh’s Dhanepur police station on Friday after he divorced her by pronouncing ‘Talaq’ thrice over a WhatsApp call.
Circle Officer (Sadar) Shilpa Verma said that based on the complaint lodged by the woman, Tarannum, a case has been registered against her husband Mohammad Raseed at the Dhanepur police station, and the matter is being investigated.
THE MATTER SO FAR
The 42-year-old woman got married to Mohammad Raseed 25 years ago. After five years of wedding, he opted for second marriage as she Tarannum was not able to bear a child. He then went to Saudi Arabia for work, the complaint added.
Citing the complaint, the CO said Tarannum’s brother Mohammad Shakir, who lived in Mumbai and worked as a tailor, was suffering from a kidney ailment.
Shakir was undergoing treatment at Mumbai’s Jaslok Hospital where doctors advised him to go for a kidney transplant to save his life, following which Tarannum spoke to her husband and donated one of her kidneys to her brother, the complaint said.
Raseed later spoke to Tarannum over the phone and asked her to demand Rs 40 lakh from her brother in lieu of the kidney donation.
When she refused to do so, her husband pronounced talaq thrice over a WhatsApp call around four months ago.
When the woman informed her in-laws about the divorce, she was asked to leave the house. Since then, she has been living at her parent’s place.
CASE REGISTERED
CO Verma said a case has been registered against Raseed under sections 498A (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty) of the Indian Penal Code and Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act. She added that the accused would be arrested when he returns to the country.
