Following the apex court verdict on triple talaq, Jahan, had written to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, seeking security for herself and her children after allegedly facing threats from in-laws and neighbours.

Ishrat's husband had divorced her over phone from Dubai in 2014 by uttering 'talaq' thrice, a practice that was struck down by the apex court on August 22.

She has a 13-year-old daughter and a seven-year-old son.

The verdict was delivered in a 3:2 majority by a 5-judge bench of all faiths - former chief justice of India JS Khehar, Justices Kurian Joseph, Rohinton Nariman, Uday Lalit and SA Abdul Nazeer.
