Sitapur, Aug 8: A woman in UP's Sitapur has been scarred for life after her in-laws allegedly chopped her nose off because she filed a case of triple talaq against them.

As per ANI, the victim's mother Sharifun Nisha filed a complaint with the police alleging that her daughter was thrashed by her in-laws after she filed a complaint about triple talaq.

"I went to the police station to file a triple talaq complaint for my daughter. Her in-laws threatened her after she did not withdraw the case. They beat her up," Nisha said, as per ANI report.

After a prolonged debate in the Lok Sabha, the controversial triple talaq bill was passed on July 25, which criminalises instant triple talaq among Muslims, imposing a jail term of three years for the husband.

A police officer, who witnessed the incident, said, "We got a complaint that a man gave triple talaq over phone. Both families were called and a counselling attempt was made. When the matter was not resolved, we filed the case under the relevant section of the triple talaq law."

"The woman was thrashed. She is in a hospital now. She was injured on her nose," the officer added.

The bill to ban triple talaq, which failed the Rajya Sabha test last time, sailed through the opposition-dominated upper house on July 31.
