Two weeks after being a victim of triple talaq, a 25-year-old woman from Basti in Uttar Pradesh allegedly committed suicide.

The woman had returned to her maternal home two weeks ago but decided to kill herself after her son was taken away by the estranged husband.

Divorced through triple talaq, Muslim woman kills self in Uttar Pradesh

Shabnam Nissa was married to Babbu of Saltuah Digar four years ago and the couple had a son. "Babbu divorced Shabnam 15 days ago by uttering 'talaq' thrice. She came back here along with her son Farhan. Three days ago, Babbu came to take Farhan away, leaving Shabnam behind. She could not bear it," said Nissa's father Jaggan. The family claimed that she hanged herself on Monday after suffering from depression. Her son being taken away was the last nail.

Nissa's suicide comes at a time when triple talaq has turned into a raging debate in the country. Muslim women in Uttar Pradesh have claimed that they voted for the BJP so that the practice of triple talaq, as mentioned in their manifesto, is done away with. Multiple letters written to the Prime Minister by Muslim women demand that triple talaq be ended. The local police who have registered a case of unnatural death claimed that Nissa slipped into acute depression after her husband took her son away.
