Triple talaq: Muslim woman threatens to convert to Hinduism if she does not get justice

Shamim Jahan was given Triple Talaq by her husband Asif inside the Gadarpur police station. She has sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Supreme Courts intervention

Another case of Triple Talaq has surfaced from Udham Singh Nagar of Uttarakhand, where after falling victim to the Islamic divorce practice, a woman has threatened either to convert to Hinduism or commit suicide if she did not get justice

In a new video which went viral on Wednesday, Shamim Jahan has sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Supreme Courts intervention. Jahan was given Triple Talaq by her husband Asif inside the Gadarpur police station.

“After my experience, I think it is better to convert to Hinduism as these things do not happen in Hinduism. The other option is suicide. I have suffered a lot,” she says in the video.

Jahan married Asif 12 years ago who divorced her after four years of marriage. However, with some counselling from family elders, after completing the Halala period of 40 days, the two were reunited.

However, after reuniting with Asif, he started physically abusing her. Refusing to succumb to the violence Jahan took the matter to the Gadarpur Police Station.

However, he came to the station and said ‘Talaq Talaq Talaq’ to her at the police station itself while the police persons looked on.

A few days back, the sister of a triple talaq victim has warned Muslim clerics that she will adopt Hinduism if they don’t set their house in order.

Covered in a hijab, the Muslim woman, creating a scene at Kichha police, said, “What is the use of spending whole life with a man who can at any point of time desert his wife by saying Talaq, Talaq, Talaq? If this injustice happens in old age then where would the victim go?”

“Today I am young and why would I spend my whole life with the fear of triple talaq? It is better to embrace Hinduism and marry a Hindu man who would at least not destroy my life by uttering just three words,” she added.

Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she said,”What Modi is doing for the country is very good. What he is doing for women, especially for Muslim women, is very good.”
