Quoting the complaint, the official said that Joher and his mother Tasleem had been harassing the woman for the past two years as her parents did not fulfil their dowry demand for a motorcycle.

"Based on the woman's complaint, a case was registered against the man and his mother under provisions of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019, which bans the practice of instant triple talaq, and Indian Penal Code (IPC) for dowry demand," he said.

Nobody has been arrested in the case and further investigation is underway, the police official added.
