A woman in Agra, India, has left many stunned by seeking a divorce from her husband just 40 days after their wedding, citing his poor hygiene as the cause.
The woman complained that her husband, Rajesh, only bathes once or twice a month, which has made it unbearable for her to continue living with him. Despite intervention from a family counseling center, where Rajesh admitted to his habits and even promised to improve by bathing daily, the woman remained firm in her decision to separate.
The unusual case has drawn significant attention due to the personal nature of the complaint and the short duration of the marriage. Rajesh acknowledged that since their wedding, he had bathed only six times, attributing his cleanliness habits to a weekly ritual of pouring water from the sacred Ganges River on himself.
The couple has been asked to return to the counseling center later this month to explore further solutions, but the wife seems determined to proceed with the divorce.
