LUCKNOW: A 28-year-old woman from

has accused her husband of giving her

on Sunday, just a year after their marriage, for failing to meet his dowry demand of a car and Rs 1 lakh in cash. The woman filed a complaint at

following which a case was lodged against her husband and in-laws.

Police said Saba Anjum of Jajupur village got married to Akram of Hasyamau village on May 9, 2018. "My husband wanted a car and Rs 1 lakh in dowry and started mistreating me soon after the wedding. He often thrashed me and sometimes left home and didn't return for months. In his absence, my mother-in-law Rubina and father-in-law Jameel used to torture me," she said in her complaint.

"On August 25, Akram came home around 11pm. He hurled expletives and then shouted triple talaq. Next morning, his parents, brother and brother's wife asked me to either get the money or get out of the house. I was beaten up with sticks. I returned to my parents' home," Anjum told police.

Pihani SHO, Surya Prasad Shukla, said, "An FIR under Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, has been registered against Akram, his parents and three others who have also been booked under IPC section for criminal intimidation, provoking breach of peace, dowry harassment and causing hurt."

So far, 275 triple talaq cases have been registered in UP. In most cases, the reason behind talaq was dowry, but there were instances where talaq was given over frivolous reasons.

In one case, a woman was given instant talaq for celebrating the passage of the triple talaq bill.
