Maryam accused Arshad of physically assaulting her and throwing "hot daal" at her. She also claimed that Arshad's family tried to strangle her on the day he pronounced the triple talaq.

In a video circulating on social media, Maryam stated, ""My father got me married with the consent of both the parties and by spending more than his means," she says in the video, according to PTI.

"After the marriage, when I went out in the city, I liked the roads of Ayodhya Dham, the beautification, the development and the atmosphere there. On this, I praised chief minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in front of my husband."

She explained that her praise of the development in Ayodhya, specifically mentioning Yogi Adityanath and Narendra Modi, angered her husband, leading to him sending her back to her maternal home in Bahraich.

After some relatives intervened, Maryam returned to Ayodhya to live with Arshad, but he once again became abusive and pronounced the triple talaq.

She also alleged that on the day of the talaq, Arshad and his family members physically assaulted her.

The police have registered a case against Arshad and seven other family members under charges of assault, abuse, threats, and violations of the Dowry Prohibition Act and the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act.
