BIJNOR: Two days after a 24-year-old man allegedly gave triple talaq to his wife over phone from a police station in Bijnor Kotwali, police have registered a case against him and five others under sections 3 and 4 of Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Ordinance, 2018 based on a complaint lodged by the latter’s mother. Soon after, he also married his lover within the station premises.According to police, Gulfam of Baruki village under Kotwali Dehat police jurisdiction was in love with his neighbour Tarannum. However, his family members married him off to his maternal cousin Sultanat on July 15. Since then, the couple used to fight regularly. Unable to bear the ordeal, Gulfam’s wife soon returned to her maternal home in Pawati village. A few days back, Tarannum came to Gulfam’s house and threatened to commit suicide if he didn’t marry her. On learning about this, Sultanat’s family lodged a police complaint, added sources. Hence, police summoned both the parties to the station, where they arrived at a compromise on Sunday.Talking to TOI, Sultanat’s mother Shahnaz said, “Some influential people pressured us and summoned us to the police station where Gulfam gave triple talaq to my daughter over phone. Police was also involved in the episode.” She added that Gulfam then got married to Tarannum inside the police station.Confirming the wedding, rural SP Vishvajeet Shrivastava said, “It is true that the wedding was solemnised in the police station. This has happened on earlier occasions too. However, what is a matter of grave concern is the allegation of triple talaq being given on the premises. We have initiated an inquiry into the charges and will take necessary action if anybody is found guilty.”He added, “Based on a complaint, we have registered a case against Gulfam and five others – Iqbal, Anees, Ahmed, Sarafat and Chandshah – under sections 3 and 4 of Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Ordinance, 2018.”Defending his move, Gulfam said, “I talked to my aunt and wife over phone and they agreed to my decision to get married to Tarannum. That’s when I gave talaq to Sultanat.”The government had recently passed Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Ordinance, 2018 which makes triple talaq an offence that can invite a jail term of three years.
