A triple-talaq victim, hailing from Sujatganj, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, was advised to follow Sharia law and accept the triple talaq given to her by the husband when she went to the Babu Purwa PS to lodge a complaint against the same. “It’s because of girls like you that people get to interfere with Muslim laws”, police officer Mansoor Ahmed allegedly reprimanded the victim asking her to obey her husband.
When Hina Parveen confronted the officer, saying that Indian law has declared triple talaq illegal and unconstitutional, the police officer Mansoor Ahmed sternly replied: “You are not the first girl to be given triple-talaq. This is a regular Muslim practice under the Sharia law, which you should follow. Forget about Indian law, just follow Sharia law”.
IO of Babu Purwa PS, Mansoor Ahmed, who had lectured Hina, asking her to give in to the demands of her husband and his family, has reportedly been transferred and IO Pawan Dubey has replaced him and taken charge.
