Gwalior, Feb 03: A 28-year-old man from Jhansi in Madhya Pradesh was booked for allegedly divorcing his wife through the banned triple talaq method, a Gwalior police official said on Sunday.

His father and brother have also been booked for harassing the woman for dowry, police added. The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 makes talaq-e-biddat or any other similar form of talaq having the effect of instantaneous and irrevocable divorce pronounced by a Muslim husband void and illegal.

'Nikah halala' is a process in which a Muslim woman, who wants to re-marry her husband after divorce, has to first marry another person and get a divorce from the second person after consummating the marriage.

"Adil, his younger brother Abid and their father Azad Khan have been booked after the 26-year-old woman filed a complaint two days ago. They have also been accused of demanding dowry and indulging in domestic violence," Badhoria said.
