Digital Desk: In a heart-wrenching incident in Gonda district, Uttar Pradesh, a man working in Saudi Arabia divorced his wife through triple talaq over a WhatsApp call. The trigger for this shocking action was his wife's selfless act of donating one of her kidneys to her ailing brother.
The incident unfolded in Bairiyahi village under Dhanepur police station. The wife, named Tarannum, informed her husband, Mohammad Rasheed, about her decision to donate a kidney to her brother, Mohammad Shakir, who was battling a severe health condition. Instead of support, Rasheed pressured her to ask for Rs 40 lakh in exchange for her kidney from her brother. Firmly refusing to comply with his demand, Tarannum faced the grim consequence of her husband resorting to 'triple talaq' over a WhatsApp call.
Despite existing laws against such practices, cases of 'triple talaq' sporadically emerge in Uttar Pradesh, highlighting the persistent challenges faced by women. Tarannum, now divorced, has been sent away by her in-laws and is presently residing with her parents.
Tarannum had been married to Mohammad Rasheed of Jaitapur village for around 25 years. After five years of marriage, due to Tarannum's inability to conceive, Rasheed married another woman and moved to Saudi Arabia for work.
Her decision to donate her kidney was driven by concern for her elder brother, Mohammad Shakir, a tailor based in Mumbai, who was suffering from a kidney disorder. Despite consulting her husband beforehand, his stance shifted post-donation. Rasheed began pressuring her to demand a substantial sum from her brother, ultimately leading to their marital breakdown and the subsequent triple talaq.
