Man Sends Talaq Message To Wife, Elopes With Her Niece

Bhopal: In another incident of divorce over phone, a man sent triple talaq message to his wife and then eloped with her minor niece.

The incident took place in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The accused Faizan, 20, met Rehana (name changed) from the same locality and they fell in love. As the love blossomed between them, their families got them married.

After the marriage, Faizan met with the 14-year-old niece of Rehana and in no time fell for her. They decided to elope. When the family found out, they lodged a complaint with Ashoka Garden police over the disappearance of their daughter. Acting upon their complaint, the police lodged a case of abduction against Faizan and started looking for the missing duo. Faizan had called one of his friends in Kanpur and asked him to arrange a Qazi to solemnise his marriage. However, the plans fell flat as he called up his friend after landing at Kanpur railway station and found his friend’s phone switched off.

Railway police spotted the duo and after initial interrogation, the two were taken into custody.

The girl told police in Bhopal that Faizan had misled her saying that he has convinced his wife for the second marriage and then divorced his wife on phone from Kanpur, an inquiry officer from police said adding that wife of the accused would also be quizzed in the case.
