Man divorces wife for her reluctance to take shower

Aligarh: Recently, the state of Uttar Pradesh, northern India, witnessed a strange divorce incident, where the husband divorced his wife for not bathing on a daily basis. 

In the bizarre incident, a Muslim man hailing from Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh divorced his wife on the grounds that she does not bathe every day.

The couple tied the knot with his wife two years ago and has a year-old toddler.

The strange matter surfaced only when the wife lodged a complaint at the Aligarh’s Women Protection cell to protect her marriage. 

A counsellor working with Cell said, “A woman gave us a written complaint stating that her husband has given her triple talaq on the pretext of not bathing every day”. 

The counsellor also said “The man, during counselling, repeatedly and firmly told us that he wants to end terms with the woman. He also gave an application to us to help him get a divorce from his wife as she does not bathe every day”.

“Every day a verbal spat started between the duo after man asked his wife to have a bath,” the counsellor added.

The cell tried to counsel the man to not break his marriage as it is a minor issue which can be solved. 

However, the man, identified as Aman pronounced triple divorce.
