  "account": "In a historic first for Bihar, a Patna court has convicted a man for triple talaq and sentenced him to two years of rigorous imprisonment, with a fine of Rs 6,500. The court acquitted the accused in a separate case involving an alleged acid attack on his wife. Additional District and Sessions Judge-24, Rajiv Ranjan Sahay, found Naushad Ahmed guilty under Section 4 of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, and IPC sections 323 and 341. Ahmed, a resident of Simri village under Bihta police station, had allegedly given instant triple talaq to his wife, Raziya Sultan, on September 5, 2022. In 2022, the court heard a complaint from the complainant alleging assault on herself and their children. Despite no evidence of the acid attack, Ahmed was convicted under the anti-triple talaq laws. His defense lawyer plans to challenge the verdict in the High Court.",
