Jodhpur resident Irfan Khan publicly humiliated his wife, Farha Khan before forcing a divorce decree upon her on the street by saying ‘talaq, talaq, talaq’. Shockingly, all this happened right outside his house as he kept blaming the wife for ‘not bearing a male child’.
"She has abused and beat me at several occasions. I can prove it. She could not bear a child for years and I had borne 6-7 lakh for her treatment. She became a mother but showed no improvement in her behaviour,” says Irfan Khan.
Farha and her young daughter were locked outside the house by her in-laws in Shastri Nagar.
"My husband's family has become indifferent since I gave birth to a girl. I want to live with him and I believe that oral talaq is not Islamic," she says in the video.
Farha submitted an application before the Mahila Thana after refusing to accept the ‘talaq’.
