A 31-year-old man from Mumbra, Thane district, has been booked for allegedly giving `triple talaq` to his wife, despite the practice being banned by the Supreme Court in 2019. The man reportedly annulled his marriage after his wife, aged 25, went for a walk alone.

According to the police, the accused contacted his wife’s father on Tuesday and informed him that he was divorcing his wife by uttering the words `triple talaq`, which is a criminal offence under Indian law. This was in response to his wife’s decision to step out alone for a walk, an action that allegedly displeased him.
