A woman from Hapur district of Uttar Pradesh claimed she was given triple talaq by her husband for asking him for Rs 30 to buy medicines.

Victim's mother said, "My daughter fell ill and she demanded money for medicine money from her husband. They had an argument after which she was given triple talaq and ousted from her in-law's house."

"I got married three years back. I asked Rs 30 for medicine and instead, he (husband) started shouting at me and gave me triple talaq. Thereafter, his family pushed me out of their house," the victim said.
