UP: Husband gave me 'triple talaq' for attending Modi's rally, says wife
Fayra also alleged that her husband had an affair with his aunt and had a son with her.
Lucknow: A Muslim woman in Bareilly district has alleged that her husband gave her triple talaq after she attended a function held to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi for banning triple talaq.
The woman, Fayra, said she had gone to attend a rally organised as a mark of support to the Modi government’s decision to bring in legislation to ban instant triple talaq.
She claimed after she returned from the rally her husband threatened her and said even the ‘Prime Minister will not be able to save her’ and gave her triple talaq. She said that she was beaten up and then thrown out of the house along with her child.
Fayra also alleged that her husband had an affair with his aunt and had a son with her.
The husband, Danish, on the other hand, defended himself saying that he divorced his wife over her ‘extramarital affairs’.
“I did not give her triple talaq. She had an extramarital affair, so I divorced her. She always wore jeans and things like that. I do not want to stay with my wife and the Prime Minister has nothing to do with it,” he told reporters on Sunday.
