It is known that the government of India banned the Triple Talaq tradition that is prevalent in the Muslim community. Now, a Telangana man had to learn it the hard way.
The Adilabad police have arrested a man for declaring Triple Talaq to his first wife via a WhatsApp voice message. The case has been registered against Abdul Ateeq, a 32-year-old resident of KRK Colony in Adilabad town, who works as a transporter.
According to G. Srinivas, the Sub-Inspector of Adilabad Police, Ateeq married Jasmine in 2017. The couple was blessed with two daughters, but marital discord soon set in, leading to frequent fights.
For the past two years, the couple has been living separately, with Jasmine residing with her mother along with her daughters. Meanwhile, Ateeq remarried.
In 2023, Jasmine filed a harassment case against Ateeq. Additionally, she filed for maintenance in court, which resulted in the court ordering Ateeq to pay Rs 7,200 per month for the upkeep of his daughters.
However, Ateeq failed to comply with this order, prompting Jasmine to approach the court again. The court then issued summons for Ateeq to appear. Enraged by this, he said Triple Talaq to his wife and this led to him getting arrested by the police.
