Husband educates wife, she becomes SI officer:She seeks divorce, saying she is ashamed of his priesthood, attire, work, and traditional topknot in Bhopal

Bhopal Family Court is hearing a surprising case. A husband, who worked as a priest and saved money, helped his wife complete her education and become a Sub-Inspector. Soon after she got the job, the wife filed for divorce. The wife says she feels ashamed of her husband’s profession and appearance. She also dislikes his look. The husband, meanwhile, says his wife pressures him to cut his topknot. Wife’s dream was to join the police
At the time of marriage, the woman’s dream was to join the police department. The husband respected her wish. The husband is a priest by profession and runs the household by performing pujas. He invested a large part of his earnings in his wife’s education and preparation. Wife put forth a condition for husband to change
The wife’s hard work paid off and she became a Sub-Inspector. As soon as she achieved success, the wife’s behavior towards her husband began to change. The wife started getting annoyed by his attire and looks and put forth a condition for him to change. When the husband refused to accept his wife’s demand, the woman applied for divorce in court. Said: I feel embarrassed by my husband’s work
Soon after getting the job, the wife started disliking her husband wearing ‘dhoti-kurta’ and keeping a ‘shikha’ (tuft of hair) on his head. The wife says that she feels embarrassed in society by her husband’s look and his priestly work. Counseling also didn’t work
The matter is now in Bhopal’s Family Court. According to counselors, several counseling sessions were held to reconcile the husband and wife, but the woman is adamant. She says that she cannot take this relationship forward anymore. Currently, the court is considering the matter.
