In a bizarre case, a woman in Uttar Pradesh's Agra has sought divorce from her husband after just 40 days of marriage. The reason: The woman has cited a weird hygiene issue with her husband, which made it unbearable for her to live with him. Apparently, the man in question bathes only once or twice a month, which left him with a body odour which was so bad that his wife couldn't bear with it. Yes, you read that right!
After discovering her husband's poor personal hygiene the woman approached a family counselling centre and shared that she couldn't live with him like this, reported India Today.
Surprised by this bizarre incident, the officials then asked her husband, Rajesh, if it was true. He confirmed that he doesn't bathe daily; instead, he sprinkles Gangajal from the Ganga River on himself once every week. But ever since he got married, he bathed six times in 40 days-- that too after his wife insisted.
When the woman came to know about her husband's poor personal hygiene, the couple started having frequent fights about it. And when Rajesh didn't bathe daily, the woman went back to her parent's home, a family counsellor told India Today. Following this, the woman's family also filed a dowry harassment case against Rajesh at a local police station. Meanwhile, the woman also sought a divorce from her husband, just days after being married. Considering the bizarre nature of the case, the police intervened and spoke to Rajesh after which he agreed to bathe daily. But, his wife is now unwilling to return to her marital home and continue the marriage with him.
The couple is asked to visit the counselling centre again on September 22, 2024, in order to resolve their dispute.

And once the husband forgot to get a packet of Kurkure for her which led to the woman seeking a divorce from him, as per Live Hindustan.
In another incident, called the 'Maggi case' a man from Ballari, Karnataka, once sought divorce from his wife because she didn't know how to cook anything else apart from Maggi. So much so that the woman cooked Maggi for all three meals every day. The couple eventually got divorced on grounds of mutual consent.
