NEW DELHI: A man from Indian state Kerela divorced her 21-year-old wife over WhatsApp after just four weeks of marriage, reported Indian media.
The man left for Dubai 10 days after their marriage, and then followed up with a ‘triple talaq’ over the popular message sharing app, wife claims.
“He said she was like an apple and he had already tasted it. So he did not want her anymore,” said J Prameela Devi, a member of the state women’s commission court.
The 21-year-old student of Kerala college left her in-laws’ residence and lodged a complaint at the women’s commission’s court in Pala, Kottayam. Her mother had paid the groom a dowry of one million rupees and also given him 80 sovereigns of gold.
The commission, which questions the validity of a ‘WhatsApp talaq’, has ordered the department of non-resident Keralites’ affairs to find the woman’s husband, a 27-year-old, who is based in Dubai, but is originally from Vaikom in Kottayam. It has also told the police to present the man’s parents at the next hearing.
