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.
