Jodhpur woman gets triple talaq over phone, husband marries another woman after two days

Although the Supreme Court has banned triple talaq (triple divorce), cases of people resorting to this practice keep coming.  In a similar case, a man divorced his wife in Rajasthan's Jodhpur by uttering 'talaq' thrice on the phone. The couple has two children.

The victim said that on September 18, her husband divorced her over the phone and after two days he married someone else.

The woman, Afsana had been married to Munna for the last eight years in Jodhpur, but soon after her marriage, she was harassed for dowry by her in-laws.

In 2015, her husband allegedly tried to burn her by throwing kerosene at her for failing to get dowry after which she returned to her parents' home. Afsana said that she had lodged a complaint against her husband and her in-laws.
