An Indian woman successfully divorced her husband after he refused to allow her to watch television soap operas, according to a newspaper report.
The Daily News and Analysis newspaper said the couple from Pune, southeast of Mumbai, were constantly at each other’s throats, and eventually she filed for divorce.
Television soap operas, with their high melodrama, dramatic close-ups and music, have a huge following in India, particularly among housewives or women who work as domestic help.
Granting her application, a family court judgment said the husband had been picking arguments with his wife for more than four years “on the ground that she was seeing Hindi serials on TV channels.”
It added: “The respondent (husband) was not allowing the petitioner (wife) to see programs on TV as per her choice.”
The divorce ruling was given in August, but details had only recently emerged when the ex-husband applied to the high court to overturn the decision, which also gave the woman custody of the couple’s six-year-old child.
His lawyers argued in court that the woman’s claims of cruel treatment against her were false and were part of the normal “wear and tear” of married life, the newspaper said.(AFP)
據報載，印度一位婦人因丈夫禁止她看電視連續劇而訴請離婚成功。
印度《每日新聞分析報》報導，來自孟買東南部普那的這對夫妻經常吵得不可開交，最後妻子訴請離婚。
帶有高度戲劇張力、誇張特寫鏡頭和音樂的電視連續劇，在印度擁有一大群忠實觀眾，尤以家庭主婦或女傭為主。
同意這件離婚申請的家事法庭法官表示，這名丈夫四年多來常以他太太「看北印度語電視連續劇」為由找她吵架。
法官的報告中還指出：「被告（丈夫）不准訴願人（太太）依照個人意願看電視節目。」
這件離婚官司的判決八月便出爐，但最近這名前夫上訴高等法院，才讓此案受到關注。高等法院也將他們六歲孩子的監護權判給了妻子。
報導指出，該丈夫的律師在法庭上辯稱，婦人聲稱受到殘忍待遇並非事實，那只是一般婚姻生活中正常的「磨合」。
