Nida Khan is an Indian women's rights activist who experienced the Instant triple talaq.[1][2][3][4] A fatwa was issued by Khurshid Alam Razvi, a Mufti calling for social boycott of Nida for speaking out against practices of Islam.[5][6] She is the founder of Ala Hazrat Helping Society, a Non-governmental organization.[7]

Personal life and controversies

Nida Khan got married on February 18, 2015, after which she was pressured for dowry. She claimed, her husband beat her so badly that she had a miscarriage, and she subsequently has called her ex-husband the murderer of her children. Later her husband gave her a Instant triple talaq, and she was kicked out of the home on July 17, 2015.

Through her new non-profit group, Ala Hazrat Helping Society, Nida Khan now counsels other Muslim women to protect them from harmful traditions like triple talaq, polygamy, domestic violence, and nikah halala, a practice involving a female divorcee marrying another man, consummating the marriage, and then getting a divorce – all to allow her former husband to remarry.[8]

She had called the Nikah Halala, an evil process under Islam.[9]
