Unable to bear male child, Hyderabad woman given 'triple talaq' by husband

The want for a male child has been the driving force behind several criminal cases in the past. In some cases, marriages end and in some cases, women are subjected to domestic violence. The blame for not being able to give birth to a male child is often pinned on women. In one such case from Hyderabad, triple talaq was given to a woman as she was unable to bear a male child.

The victim said that she was being harassed by her husband as she failed to give him a son. Allegedly, the victim's husband also wanted to marry the second time as he wanted a son and he had been pestering his first wife for a divorce. The family of the woman had even given dowry to the accused. The woman turned to the police for help after her husband gave her a triple talaq.
