Thane: Police have registered a case against a man in Maharashtra's Thane district for allegedly giving 'triple talaq' (instant divorce) to his wife, beating her up and harassing her for money, officials said on Monday.

The 26-year-old woman, who resided with her husband's family in Bhiwandi area here, in her police complaint alleged that she was subjected to harassment since March 2022, an official from Shanti Nagar police station said.

She claimed her husband and his family members demanded Rs 50,000 from her as they were not given dowry for her marriage.
