Man in Saudi Arabia divorces wife through WhatsApp

Kareli - The couple got married in 2009.

A 28-year-old woman in India was divorced by her husband through WhatsApp.
Arif, who lives in Saudi Arabia, accused her of having extramarital relations and divorced her through a voice message on WhatsApp. The couple got married in 2009.
"To insult my family, Arif even used to call my late father when he was alive and inform him that he had tortured me. I endured thrashings several times at the hands of my husband and in-laws for several years but still tried to maintain the relation. My husband and in-laws insulted me for belonging to a poor family," said Nazia (name changed) who has no issues out of the marriage.
According to the Hindustan Times, on December 18, 2017 Arif sent a voice recording to her in which he made false allegations of she having relations with a man and pronounced triple talaq to her.
"Nazia called her father-in-law Mohammad Yunus and informed him about the incident but he sided with his son and instead told her to take Rs 30000 as compensation."
Her brother in-law had also threatened her and her family.
