The Hindu
The film recently won the National award in the non-feature category for the best film on social issues.
Farha Khatun was only 10 when she first heard of triple talaq; it was a summer morning and one of her aunts had come home for a visit. “She was very disturbed and broke down in front of the family. She had got into a fight with her husband, and in a fit of rage, he said talaq twice. Before he could pronounce it the third time, she covered his mouth and thus their marriage was saved. That incident was very traumatising and the memory always stayed with me,” she recollects.More Related News
