After only eight months of marriage, a woman from Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh filed for divorce from her husband, claiming that he had promised her a honeymoon in Goa or somewhere else, but had instead taken her to Ayodhya and Varanasi. After attending a counseling session, the woman filed for divorce in a family court.
The couple got married in May of last year and both of them work as IT professionals, according to the marriage court’s counselor Shail Awasthi.
The woman claimed in her divorce petition that they both had good salaries, indicating that their honeymoon abroad was not a huge deal to them.
Despite no financial constraints, the woman’s husband refused to take her abroad and insisted on visiting a place in India itself. He claimed that he had to look after his parents, following which the couple agreed to visit Goa or South India for their honeymoon.
However, he later booked flights to Ayodhya and Varanasi, without telling his wife. He informed her of the changed travel plans, only a day before the trip, saying that they were going to Ayodhya as his mother wanted to visit the city before the Ram Mandir consecration ceremony.
She didn’t object to the trip at the time and went ahead with the plan. However, they indulged in a heated argument upon their return, and the case reached a family court in Bhopal on January 19.
In her statement, she also claimed that her husband took more care of his family members than her. Meanwhile, her husband said that his wife was just making a big fuss.
The couple is currently receiving counseling at the Bhopal Family Court.
