Haq

In 1980s India, Shazia Bano faces a devastating blow when her husband, Abbas, leaves her and their three children to marry another woman. Initially, Abbas commits to providing monthly support for the children, but when the payments cease, Bano decides to seek justice through the legal system. In retaliation, Abbas invokes triple talaq to suppress her efforts. What starts as a personal battle for survival soon escalates into a broader national conversation surrounding faith, women's rights, and the pursuit of justice. Bano emerges as a powerful emblem of defiance against patriarchal norms. Drawing from the historic Supreme Court of India ruling in Shah Bano vs. Ahmed Khan, this story captures an Indian woman's determined struggle for her fundamental rights.
