Patna Court Sentences Man to Two Years for Instant Triple Talaq in Bihar
A Patna court sentenced Naushad Ahmed to two years' rigorous imprisonment and fined him Rs 6,500 for pronouncing instant triple talaq on his wife in 2022, marking Bihar's first conviction under the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019. Ahmed was acquitted of an acid attack charge due to insufficient evidence. The couple, married for nearly 21 years with three children, had reported assaults. Ahmed's lawyer plans to challenge the verdict in the High Court.
