A man has allegedly given his wife ‘triple talaq’ for not getting a bike in dowry in Maharashtra’s Bhiwandi area.
According to Thane Police, the woman complained to her husband and in-laws, accusing them of dowry harassment and pronouncing ‘triple talaq’, which is a punishable offence under Indian law.
As per the FIR, after the marriage, the woman travelled with her husband to his native village in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
Upon arrival, her husband and in-laws rejected the dowry, claiming it was insufficient. Despite receiving a refrigerator, washing machine, furniture, and a gold ring, they allegedly demanded a bike as part
of the dowry.
The complainant stated that she began facing mental and physical harassment just three days after the wedding due to the unmet dowry demand.
She alleged that her husband and his family repeatedly pressured her, insulted her, and subjected her to abuse.
On October 21, she was allegedly thrown out of the house after her husband pronounced triple talaq. Shocked and distressed, the woman returned to Bhiwandi and approached Bhoiwada Police Station, where she officially filed the complaint on November 29.
In her complaint, she named her husband, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and two other relatives as accused.
