Groom gives triple talaq to bride just after nikah over dowry

In a shocking incident, a groom in Uttar Pradeh’s Agra gave his newly wedded wife triple talaq just within two hours after nikah as the bride’s family was unable to meet his dowry demands.

As per News 18 reports, the groom had demanded a luxury car and more jewellery as dowry and refused to take the bride along with him if his demands were not fulfilled.

According to Agra Police, the incident happened on Thursday night during the marriage of two sisters Gauri and Dolly at Priyanshu Garden. 

Reportedly, the Nikah ceremony of the elder sister, Gauri, was normal and everything went on smoothly. However, Dolly’s groom, Asif made a demand for a car and more jewellery.

When the bride’s family refused to fulfill the additional demands, the groom and his family started arguing which ignited an intense argument between both sides at the wedding venue. 

After two hours of heated discussion at the wedding venue between both sides, the groom pronounced talaq thrice and left. 

Meanwhile, the bride’s family lodged an FIR at the Tajganj Police station in Agra against seven people including the groom and his father.
Kamran Warsi, the bride’s brother said that they have spent around Rs 30 lakh in the marriage of both the sisters and still, Asif asked for more.

He also added that the groom first arrived at the wedding venue very late and the wedding got over around 4 in the morning. Following this, they complained about the quality of the food. 

Kamran also shared that relatives from both sides tried to convince him but he was adamant on his decision.

According to DS Pandey, in-charge of Tajganj Police Station, a case has been lodged against Asif and his family. However, no arrest in connection with the case has been made so far.
