If you think reasons for divorce have to be serious enough, like infidelity or lack of compatibility, think again. Gurgaon couples are divorcing over bad breath and snoring too!
Recently, a woman in Kuwait filed for divorce from her husband because he insisted on 'squeezing the toothpaste tube from the middle'. Even in Gurgaon, it isn't just predictable reasons like infidelity or domestic violence or career issues that lead to couples filing for divorces. TOI spoke to lawyers who narrated some of the most absurd divorce cases that Gurgaon has witnessed till date.
She didn't party with me, he didn't shop with me
"A couple was happily married for three-four years after being in a live-in relationship for a couple of years. Both of them were working with different MNCs and seemed really intelligent. They wanted to mutually separate and eventually succeeded. There was never any bad blood between them. When asked for their reasons to separate, the husband said that the wife never went to his office parties, and the wife's issue was that he never went shopping with her."
Can't deal with bad breath and snoring
"There were these two divorce cases which were filed by upper middle-class couples, and the reason for separation was bad breath and snoring. And all four of them were working at managerial positions in different MNCs in Gurgaon. They were counselled that these didn't seem like the most eligible reasons to separate. Eventually, neither of the couples got divorced. Among all these nerve-wracking causes of traumatic relationships and unfaithful partners, such cases are just awkward. Out of 100 cases, only 1% would be as odd as these."
We read different genres of books
"Another case that was filed with mutual consent and approved by the court, was when the couple didn't understand each other well. On being asked how and what were the misunderstandings, they started with saying that they read different books. They didn't approve of the genre the other read. Even when they came to meet me they used to read books facing away from each other. If they were spending some time and energy in talking to each other and trying to understand each other, they could have had a much better relationship. Or at least they'd have had a more serious reason to separate."
She's into black magic
"One guy working with a corporate firm in Gurgaon believed that his wife was into black magic and voodoo. He had seen her doing something with little dolls and was adamant on not confronting her. He just wanted to end his marriage without even trying to find out the real reason. After continuous counselling, they agreed to live together and not separate. When such educated and smart people file for divorce for such silly reasons, it takes a lot to to make them understand the nuances of filing a divorce case."
My wife is always tired for intimacy but never for work
"There was a couple who was well-educated and smart, or at least that's what it seemed like. They had a love marriage and were together for four to five years. They wanted to separate because the guy felt that his wife was very dedicated to her work and wouldn't mind waking up in the middleof the night to work on a presentation, but if he asked her to spend time with him in bed, she'd always be tired and sleepy. His problem was that their marriage wasn't being consummated because she was a workaholic. In such cases, we try and counsel the couple, and insist that they try to live together for some more time in order to really understand if something can be done to save the marriage."
