A 24-year-old Muslim woman in Kerala has alleged that barely 10 days after her wedding, her husband divorced her on WhatsApp.
"My husband sent me a message on WhatsApp saying talaq, talaq, talaq. He then called me and said the same with God as a witness and mailed me too," claims the woman. When she asked why, her husband allegedly told her, "One may be interested in apples, but will also want to eat mangoes."
Her 33-year-old husband told NDTV that he was being mentally harassed by her family. "I spoke to her over the phone, mailed her and WhatsApped her". Earlier, the family was not available for comment.
The woman, who studies in a dental college, says soon after their wedding in February 2014, her husband left for Dubai to work for a Public Relations firm. The addresses of his residence and workplace that he shared with her, turned out to be false, she said.
"We are three women in our family who are emotionally, physically and financially broken. My father is no more. We cannot track him down by ourselves," she told NDTV.
"This is unheard of. We are taking this case very seriously," Pramila Devi added.
