In a bizarre case, a Mumbai taxi driver gave triple talaq to his wife as she reportedly switched off the fan while he was sleeping.
The incident took place three years ago but came to light only after the 65-year-old man moved a 'Public Complaint Center' for family disputes in Pydhonie, Mumbai. The man has now filed a complaint against his wife, stating her refusal to leave his house despite the divorce three years ago. The wife, however, has claimed that the fan was switched off by their daughter.
Speaking to India Today, the 55-year-old woman said, "He was sleeping when I asked him to get vegetables from the market. As the fan was making too much noise and he was not waking up, our daughter switched off the fan and tried to wake him up. He woke up and left the house. He came back with a neighbour and uttered talaq thrice."
Chief organiser of the 'Public Complaint Center' Abdul Razzak Maniyar said that though the practice of triple talaq has been misused, it should not be abolished.
"It is true that the practice of triple talaq has been misused. There is lack of education among the Muslim community. We are trying to create awareness for decades now. However, this doesn't mean that the law should be abolished. Action should be taken against people misusing it," said Maniyar.
The Supreme Court recently concluded the hearing on triple talaq and reserved its verdict on the constitutional validity of the practice.
