Odisha Woman Gets Triple Talaq For Losing Rs 1.5 Lakh In Cyber Fraud: Cops

The woman is married for the last 15 years and mother of three teenage children.

The Odisha Police booked a 45-year-old man for allegedly handing out instant 'triple talaq' to his wife after she confessed to losing Rs 1.5 lakh to cyber criminals, an official said on Saturday.

The practice of 'Triple talaq' is illegal in India since 2017.

A 32-year-old woman of Kendrapara district lodged a complaint with the police alleging that her husband, who is currently in Gujarat, on April 1 uttered 'talaq' three times after knowing from her over the phone that she lost Rs 1.5 lakh to cyber frauds, thus divorcing her illegally.

The woman is married for the last 15 years and mother of three teenage children.
