Karnataka woman given triple talaq from Dubai over Whatsapp

A Muslim woman in the district headquarters town of Shivamogga in Karnataka has approached police accusing her husband of giving her "triple talaq" from Dubai over WhatsApp.

The couple had been married for about 20 years, and the woman's husband had left for Sharjah-Dubai in January but did not come back, police said quoting the woman's complaint.

On some issues, the man is said to have repeatedly picked up a quarrel with her during their conversations, and finally gave her talaq (divorce) in August, stating he "doesn't want" her, they said.
