Saharanpur: A three-month pregnant woman has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging to bring to end triple talaq after her husband abandoned her fearing she may give birth to a girl again.
The woman, Shagufta, has claimed her in-laws were pressurising her to go for abortion, while her husband had verbally divorced her over the issue and threw her out of the house.
The mother of two girls has written to Prime Minister Modi and sent a copy of the letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to apprise them of her situation.
The police on Wednesday filed an FIR and initiated probe in the matter which was reported in Nanauta area of Saharanpur on 24 March.
Triple talaq is a Sharia law that gives a man the right to end the marriage by verbally saying ‘talaq’ thrice to his wife.
