According to a complaint filed by Mohd Mustaquddin's wife, he traveled to India with his wife and a 10-month-old child during September. He left them in Hyderabad and returned back to Saudi Arabia and placed the advert in the newspaper.

The police have registered a case against the accused under sections 498 (A) (husband or relative of husband subjecting a woman to cruelty), 420 (cheating) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).  The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP, South zone), V. Satyanarayana was quoted saying that a case has been registered against Qazi (Muslim cleric) of Shahalibanda, advocate Shakeel and Manaziruddin’s family.

Even after the Indian Supreme Court banned "triple talaq," muslim women continue to face the challenge. On August 22 this year, the Supreme Court ruled that the practice of divorce through triple talaq (instant triple talaq) among Muslims as "void", "illegal" and "unconstitutional".

Passports of 10 People under Indian government scrutiny Over NRI Marriage Disputes

Last week we read "news about Indian Government setting up website to register, track NRI marriages"
The ministry for women and child development is setting up a website on which registrars from states across the country will have to upload details related to NRI marriages, in a move aimed at tacking the issue of NRI husbands abandoning or ill-treating their wives.

The integrated nodal agency (INA), an inter-ministerial body that is examining the issues faced by women trapped in bad marriages with Non-Resident Indian husbands, is reviewing requests of revocation of 10 passports made by the National Commission for Women. The committee has asked the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to expedite action.

A 27-year-old woman has approached the Supreme Court, saying her husband is suffering from acute porn addiction as a result of which their marriage is on the rocks, and sought a complete ban on online pornography.

She said that because of this habit, her 35-year-old husband has become so "perverted" that he is ignoring his day-to-day activities and their marriage is in trouble as he is indifferent to her physical and material needs.

Indian Supreme Court says: women 'misusing' dowry law

In a landmark decision that even NRI couples planning divorce are watching closely, India's Supreme Court has said that women are increasingly misusing the tough anti-dowry law to harass their husbands and in-laws.

A complaint under the law allows for immediate arrest and jailing of the accused, often the husband and his family members, but campaigners say the provision is frequently misused with many women filing false cases.

"The fact that Section 498A is a cognisable and non-bailable offence has lent it a dubious place of pride amongst the provisions that are used as weapons rather than shield by disgruntled wives," the two-judge bench of Justices CK Prasad and PC Ghose said in its order on Wednesday. "The simplest way to harass is to get the husband and his relatives arrested under this provision. In a quite number of cases, bed-ridden grandfathers and grandmothers of the husbands, their sisters living abroad for decades are arrested," it added. "The …
