Notably, the Indian governmentenacted a law against "triple talaq" in 2019, and declared it unconstitutional. If a Muslim man gives triple talaq to his wife, he is subject to imprisonment, as per the law.
"My father got me married with the consent of both the parties and by spending more than his means," said Maryam in a video, according to the news agency PTI. “After the marriage, when I went out in the city, I liked the roads of Ayodhya Dham, the beautification, the development and the atmosphere there. On this, I praised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in front of my husband.”

The allegedincident took placeat the end of July. Arshad first sent Maryam back to her parents' house and then divorced her. Later, Arshad and Maryam's relatives tried to intervene and Arshad brought his wife back to Ayodhya.
"On Aug 5, he began abusing the CM and the PM. He then pronounced ‘talaq’ three times. When I reacted in shock, my mother-in-law and brother-in-law intervened and hit me, while my husband attempted to strangle me. He then threw a vessel of hot dal on me,” she said.
Maryam stressed that she initially tried to file a complaint, however, was unsuccessful. Following this, she filed an online complaint through the integrated grievance redressal services portal and also wrote to CM Yogi on August 18.
