Khan, who has been vocal about her plight and claims she was a victim of triple talaq, decided to approach the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the Supreme Court against the fatwa.

Rejecting the plea of Khan’s husband, a Bareilly court fixed July 27 as the next date of hearing.

Raza had taken the plea that a case of domestic violence could not be registered against him as he had already divorced his wife.

Earlier in February 2018, a family court had refused to accept the divorce given by Raza to his wife.

Meanwhile, chairman of UP Minority Commission Tanveer Haider Usmani directed the Bareilly DM and the SPP to provide security to Khan in the wake of a fatwa issued against her.
