Haq plot
Haq is set in 1980s India and tells the story of Shazia Bano, a homemaker with three children. Her husband, Abbas Khan, a famous and successful lawyer, married for the second time and left Shazia, initially agreeing to pay monthly maintenance to her and the children. However, he abruptly stops the payments. In a bold move for justice, Shazia took her husband to the Aligarh Sessions Court to demand maintenance.
In response, Abbas used instant triple talaq to divorce her, arguing that, according to personal law, he no longer had to pay maintenance. Shazia's personal struggle in the legal system sparked a national debate over women's rights versus religious law, making her a symbol of resistance against patriarchy.
