In Haridwar district, Uttarakhand, a case has been registered against a man for allegedly pronouncing triple talaq on his wife, Shaheen, over dowry disputes. The case, however, has ignited controversy as it was not filed under the state's Uniform Civil Code (UCC), which aims to abolish such practices. Shaheen's complaint, lodged on April 4, details her experiences of harassment for dowry and the subsequent pronouncement of triple talaq by her husband, Danish, shortly after their marriage two and a half years ago. Haridwar Rural Superintendent of Police Shekhar Chand Suyal explained that the police are currently unable to apply UCC provisions due to delays in software updates to the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS). Legal experts have expressed concern over the lack of enforcement of UCC, which was implemented in January 2022, emphasizing that it allows for remarriage without conditions and criminalizes practices such as halala. They argue that the failure to register such serious offenses under the UCC raises significant concerns about the effectiveness of the law.
