Asma Sahiba was 23 when she married Tauseef on March 5, 2017. There was no ceremony, only family present for the signatures on paper declaring the union. She didn’t leave her parents’ home until February 22 the next year when all the dowry demands were met.
She is one of the women in the capital city who have been “divorced” by pronouncement of triple talaq since the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, came into force on August 1 and made the practice a criminal offence.
