Telangana woman gets ‘triple talaq’ notice by post
Groom also took out an advertisement in regional daily
In a landmark case in Telangana, a Muslim woman from Karimnagar town received a 'triple talaq' notice via registered post from her husband, who resides in Saudi Arabia, due to her alleged failure to provide an additional dowry of ₹10 lakh. Sajid, the husband, took out a classified advertisement in a local newspaper announcing the divorce.
The woman's father, Hameed, an advocate, claims that sending triple talaq within a year of marriage, without adhering to 'shariath' law, and via post, is illegal. The couple tied the knot on January 1, 2016, with the woman being an IT professional working in Hyderabad, and Sajid, also an IT professional, based in Hara, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Despite providing dowry of ₹5 lakh, 10 tolas of gold, an air conditioner, a motorcycle, and furniture at the time of marriage, the groom's family allegedly demanded an additional dowry of ₹10 lakh from the third day of their marriage, subjecting the woman to harassment. The woman's family filed a complaint with the court, which mandated the Karimnagar Two town police to investigate the matter. Eight individuals, including Sajid, have been registered as defendants in the case.
