Maharashtra: A man divorced his wife three times after she refused to sleep with his boss, a case has been filed

Maharashtra software engineer Kalyan is facing legal action after he allegedly divorced his wife three times over her refusal to comply with his shocking demand. The incident, which came to light on December 19, involved a 45-year-old man who asked his 28-year-old wife to have sex with his boss at a party. Things escalated further when the man pressured his wife to secure Rs 15,000 from her parents to support his first wife.

He was booked for giving instant triple talaq to his second wife, a criminal offense under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019. The incident occurred after the man’s repeated demands were met with resistance.

The victim, who married the accused in January this year, was reportedly enjoying a happy relationship initially. However, the situation deteriorated when her husband started harassing her for Rs 15 lakh, claiming that he needed money to divorce his first wife. The harassment escalated when he allegedly pressured her into sleeping with his boss at a party.

After she refused, the man resorted to physical assault and eventually issued an immediate triple talaq before kicking her out of the house. A case has been registered against him under Sections 115(2), 351(2), 351(3), and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, as well as relevant provisions of the 2019 Act.

After enduring this painful experience, the wife went to Sambhaji Nagar police station on December 19 to complain about her husband. The next day, the case was transferred to Bazarpeth police station in Kalyan for further investigation.

In a separate incident, a woman from Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh attracted attention after her husband pronounced “triple talaq” against her for supporting police action in the wake of the violence in Sambhal.

In April last year, a 45-year-old man from Odisha allegedly divorced his 32-year-old wife through ‘triple talaq’ after she admitted losing Rs 1.5 lakh to online scammers. Following her complaint, the state police registered a case against the man, accusing him of uttering the word “divorce” three times when he learned of the financial loss.
