UP: Despite SC ban, man gives 'triple talaq' to wife over phone, threatens to kill her

Gorakhpur: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday held Janata Darbar at Gorakhnath Temple in Gorakhpur.

Hundreds of people came from far flung areas to meet the Chief Minister to convey their complaints.

A woman hailing from Uttar Pradesh's Ramapur complained that her husband gave her triple talaq over the phone, despite Supreme Court's ban over it.

"My husband gave me triple talaq over the phone and also threatened to kill me. Today, I have come to Chief Minister's Janata Darbar, so I can narrate my ordeal to him. A law should be made to stop this," the woman said.

Earlier in the month, a case was registered against an Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) professor for allegedly divorcing his wife through triple talaq on Whatsapp.

The Supreme Court in September pronounced triple talaq as 'unconstitutional'.
