As per reports, her husband wrote “Talaq” three times on the postcard and told her to consider this as a divorce. She later came back to her parent’s house and filed a case against her husband.

The woman who claimed that her husband divorced her over WhatsApp further alleged that her husband changes his Whatsapp DP to “Talaq Talaq Talaq” and told her that this how it was done nowadays. It was only recently that a pregnant woman wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was urging him to abolish the triple talaq practice.Her in-laws had allegedly forced her to abort her third child fearing it might be a girl. When she refused to do so, her in-laws tortured her and her husband said “talaq” three times.
