A

report
said
that
the
lady
had
first
filed
a
report
against
the
accused
under
crime
number
373/2022,
section
323
of
the
Muslim
Women
Act
with
the
police.
The
police
have
not
yet
taken
any
legal
action
against
the
accused
in
the
matter.

In
her
complaint,
she
said
that
the
investigating
officer
in
the
Maudarwaja
police
station
had
dropped
the
names
of
accused
Sayeedullah,
Rihanna,
Nida,
Faizi,
Shoaib,

Hafiz,
Master
from
the
case.

She
also
alleged
that
when
she
opposed
triple
talaq,
her
husband
beat
her
up
and
threatened
her
with
a
pistol
and
told
me
that
her
dead
body
will
not
be
found
if
she
dared
taking
legal
action
against
her.

She
further
said,
”
he
caused
my
father’s
accident
and
now
he
is
pressurising
me
to
perform
halal
with
his
father
in
order
to
accept
back
as
his
wife.”

While
speaking
with
OpIndia,
she
said
that
despite
being
elder
and
like
my
father,
my
father-in-law
was
eager
to
perform
halala
with
her.
”
I
did
not
get
any
support
and
even
my
my
mother-in-law
supported
all
that
was
happening.
Everyone
in
the
family
is
highly
educated,
but
their
behaviour
is
horrible,”
she
also
said.

What
is
Nikah
Halala:

Nikah
Halala
is
a
controversial
Islamic
practice
where
a
woman
who
has
been
divorced
from
her
husband
and
wishes
to
remarry
him
has
to
first
get
married
to
another
man.
She
has
to
consummate
that
marriage
and
then
get
a
divorce.
Several
Islamic
scholars
too
have
frowned
upon
this
process
and
say
that
this
is
a
way
of
mistreating
a
woman.
There
is
no
consensus
about
this
practice
by
many
Islamic
scholars.

What
is
triple
talaq:

Triple
talaq
or
biddat
in
which
a
man
can
divorce
his
wide
by
uttering
the
word
‘talaq’ thrice
in
succession.
In
2017,
the
Indian
government
passed
a
law
criminalising
this
practice
and
punishable
with
a
jail
term.
The
same
was
challenged
but
the
Supreme
Court
outlawed
the
Islamic
practice.
