PALANPUR: A 35-year-old man staying in Palanpur town of Banaskantha was booked on Monday for giving instant triple talaq to his wife.
The woman identified as Shahidabano Saiyyad is a police constable posted at Kheralu police station.
Saiyyad said in her complaint that she was married to Zakir Husain Salat who works at Bhabhar judicial court in Banaskantha.
The couple have a six-year-old daughter.
Saiyyad told the police that she spotted her husband with an unknown woman in Kheralu on Monday.
She followed them and reached Behlim Vas where she confronted him.
Zakir got furious and told his wife that he will go around with any number of women and she shouldn’t interfere in his life.
He then pronounced triple talaq on the spot.
An upset Saiyyad left the spot and approached the police to file a complaint against him.
The cops have registered a complaint under section 3 and 4 of The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019.
Saiyad also said in her complaint that she was being harassed mentally by Zakir since their daughter was born.
She also alleged that he used to demand money from her as he was under debt.
In 2019, the Indian government termed triple talaq as unconstitutional and made it a punishable act.
