After years of alleged torture and abuse by her husband, Amreen Bano (24), has arrived at a decision.

She wants to give triple talaq to her husband before the community, and if it is indeed accept, will probably be the first woman to do so. Islam allows the man to give triple talaq to his wife, but not the other way round.

"I want to give triple talaq to my husband and get rid of him the same way as men do away with women using triple talaq,' Amreen told ANI.

Amreen and her sister Farheen (22) were married to two brothers in a village near Meerut on the same day in 2012. Both the sisters have filed police complaints alleging inhuman treatment including abuse and beatings by their husbands. According to a Times of India report, in September 2016, when Amreen's 3-year old son asked his uncle, Farheen's husband, for Rs 5, he and the sisters were beaten. The sisters were then told to get Rs 5 lakh from their parents. As the argument escalated, Farheen's husband gave her triple talaq and threw her out of the house.

Amreen told ANI that she suffered a miscarriage due to frequent beatings by her husband. She had approached the police saying she wanted protection but nothing was done. She now says she will give triple talaq to her husband since he has refused to provide for her and her child after the brother beat her and the sister for money.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court allowed former Union Minister Salman Khurshid to assist it in hearing a batch of pleas challenging the constitutional validity of 'triple talaq', 'nikah halala' and polygamy practices among the Muslims.
