In a bizarre incident, a 32-year-old man allegedly bet up his wife and shouted triple talaq in the middle of the road after his wife asked for Rs 30 for buying vegetables on Saturday.
The incident happened on Saturday in Greater Noida’s Dadri after the couple allegedly entered a heated argument over the amount. Reports said that Sabir, the husband, lost his cool and hit his wife Jainab and then divorced her when she asked him to give the amount to purchase vegetables.
The complainant, 30-year-old Zainab, lived with her husband Sabir in Nai Abadi Mohalla in Dadri with their three daughters and a son. In her complaint, she has alleged she was subjected to domestic violence by her husband and in-laws.
“On Saturday evening, my husband Sabir, brother in-laws Zakir and Idris, sister in-law Sama and mother-in-law Najjo thrashed me. They also gave me electric shocks with a wire,” she said. “My husband divorced me by triple talaq, spat on my face and ousted me from the house,” she added.
Zainab and her brother Rashid sought their parents’ help, who live about a kilometer away. “We reached there and found that her in-laws had thrashed her. We took her to a local hospital for treatment and then filed a police complaint,” Rashid claimed.
The victim and her family alleged that she had been subjected to abuse earlier as well. On one occasion, when she refused to give her earring to her mother-in-law, she was beaten severely.
An FIR has been registered against Sabir, Najjo and his sister Shama at Dadri police station under IPC sections 498A (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
