A case has been registered against a man here after he allegedly gave instant 'triple talaq' to his wife, police said on Monday.
A 23-year-old woman had approached Khajrana police in Indore district accusing her husband of abusing and beating her after she gave birth to a girl, said a local police official.
On Sunday, Altaf Patel, the husband, said the word `talaq' thrice to end their marital relations, she alleged.
A First Information Report (FIR) was registered against Patel under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, the official said.
