The couple had two sons, aged seven and eight years old.
“On July 23, I learned that my husband would remarried,” Nagma stated in his complaint.
He has lived with his parents for three years, he added, because he was “harassed by him and his sister who would beat me, harassed me and tortured me mentally.” He finally decided to go home to Basheer and face him.
“He harassed me again and said Triple Talaq, forced me to leave.
I was looking for help from the police but did not get it.
