An Indian woman is divorcing her husband for one of the dumbest reasons ever. Of all the misogynist things that go on in India (some women aren’t allowed to wear jeans. JEANS!), this is one woman’s breaking point? The reason behind the divorce is your Quote of the Day.

Mubai’s Daily News and Analysis newspaper said the husband’s ban [of allowing her to watch soap operas] had led to daily arguments between the couple from Pune, in the south-east of India’s financial capital. Eventually, the wife decided the situation was unbearable and 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 judge said the husband had been picking arguments with his wife for more than four years “on the grounds that she was seeing Hindi serials on TV channels”.

It added: “The respondent (husband) was not allowing the petitioner (wife) to see programmes on TV as per her choice”.
