Ernakulam: A woman from Vazhakala has filed a complaint at Thrikkakara Police Station, asserting that she was forced to separate from her husband due to the triple talaq law (TTL) though there is ban on triple talaq (instant divorce) now. This marks the first case under the triple talaq law to be reported in Kochi City. Triple talaq was criminalized in the country on August 1, 2019.
The husband of the woman who pronounced triple talaq and his mother are also facing accusations of mentally torturing the young woman. According to her complaint, the husband took this step under pressure from his family members.
The case falls under the provisions of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, and additional charges have been filed against the husband and mother-in-law for mentally torturing the young woman. The Thrikkakara Police have registered the case after a detailed investigation into the matter.
