An NRI named Faisal Patel, originally from Navsari, allegedly issued 'triple talaq' to his wife via a video sent from London.

He has been accused of subjecting her to physical and mental abuse.

According to reports, the woman who received the ‘triple talaq’ video complained to Lalgate police station after the ‘Iddah’ period of three months after her divorce.

The video was allegedly received in April 2024 from Patel.

According to reports, the victim was married to Patel in February 2020 after her first divorce in 2018 from a man she married in 2008. After five months of marriage, Patel allegedly stopped supporting her financially and began abusing her mentally and physically.

Reports reveal that he frequently travelled to the UK and allegedly had another family there with another woman. When the victim confronted him, Patel allegedly sent a video pronouncing triple talaq.

The Lalgate police have charged the accused under IPC Sections 498A (deals with domestic cruelty), 323, and 504, along with relevant provisions of The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019.
