A women had filed for divorce from her husband whom she claimed did not allow the children to watch hindi serials and limiting them to Marathi shows. She also claimed that her husband would force the kids to go early to sleep.
It looks like she has lost her divorce plea for a big permanent alimony and custody of her kids. The bombay high court dismissed her plea on the grounds that the father instils good value on the kids.
Something to be noted out of the case is that, The wife claims that she is not allowed by her husband to speak to her neighbours, wants her to maintain the house, being strict with the children and making them sleep early. Maintaining the house comes as a responsibility and if she really wants to do nothing then that is a good reason for not to be in a relationship.
Though some of the things come as a responsibility but if you note the fact that she married the guy in 1991 and it took her more than 12 years to realise that she has made a mistake.
If the father was beating her children she should have highlighted that in her case and get the father arrested. It seems to me that since this case was taken in the Bombay High Court, and Bombay is known to be a bit against North Indians (Delhi especially). Perhaps if the case was taken in Delhi High Court, she might have won.
How often do indian/pakistani women really contact the police when their kids (or themselves) are being abused? I knew of a family here where the father was abusing his wife, whenever the kids got in the way they got hit too. Wife never contacted the police because of izzat issues and hid her bruises with a dupatta
Not letting the children watch crappy star plus and telling them to go to sleep early is NOT taking their freedom away... its called DISCIPLINE!
Not letting his wife talk to the neighbours??? Now THAT'S taking away her freedom... and she's right to file for a divorce if he doesn't let her do the simplest things like go for a stroll in the evening.
Re: Woman files for divorce because husband is strict with kids
The reason for filing for divorce is plain stupid. It's like TV dramas are more important than daddy and teaching kids discipline ! May be she was just looking for an excuse to file for divorce. If there is no physical / emotional / verbal abuse involved then marriage should be given a chance esp when kids are involved (but that is just my point of view!) May be there is more to this story than what media knows.
Husband not allowing wife to interact with neighbours..........ok sounds like he's controlling but it's just neighbour not her parents that she is making such a big issue of. Hubby doesn't like neighbour don't talk to them simple as that. Why does this lady wants to interact with neighbours at the cost of her relationship with her hubby ?.....marriage needs lots of adjustments and compromises and this seems like a very small adjustment.
I still believe there is more to this story than what is written.
