Her husband, Irfan Khan, had divorced her under the Muslim personal law by uttering the word talaq' thrice. The 'divorce', which was captured in a video, sees Irfan dissolve his marriage outside his house in front of onlookers."She has abused and beat me at several occasions. I can prove it. She could not bear a child for years and I had borne 6-7 lakh for her treatment. She became a mother but showed no improvement in her behaviour," Irfan is heard saying in the video. Farha alleged harassment at the hands of her husband. "My husband's family has become indifferent since I gave birth to a girl. I want to live with him and I believe that oral talaq is not Islamic," she says in the video.
