Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A man has sought divorce from his wife on the grounds that she talks too much. He has filed the case in the family court here. The marriage of the couple was an arranged one.
They got married seven years ago and are parents of a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Both are in their late twenties.
The man who hails from Bhopal works in a private firm whereas his wife runs a beauty parlour. Everything was normal and their marriage life was going smoothly. The man and his family members however, felt that the woman talked too much, which they disliked.
The man also complained that she gave her opinion without asking. And due to this, the disputes started between the two.
The woman couldn’t tolerate the situation and she left in-laws’ place two years ago. She has been living with her daughter for past two years.
Counsellor at the family court Shail Awasthi, who is dealing with the case, said that the man was not ready to live with his wife at any cost whereas the woman does not want a break-up. “Their little daughter is suffering due to this. The couple doesn’t want to keep her as they find her as an obstacle in their second marriage,” she said.
According to Awasthi, things haven’t changed much. “They say that their wives or daughters-in-law are the members of their family but they don’t allow them to express their opinion. They just want them to take care of them and their kids and family members without uttering a word, which is pathetic and depicts the patriarchal mindset of society,” Awasthi added.
