A newlywed woman from Agra, India, is seeking a divorce just 40 days after her extravagant wedding, with the primary issue being her husband’s lack of daily hygiene.
The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, claims her husband, Rajesh, refuses to shower regularly. According to her, his infrequent bathing habits have created irreparable differences in their relationship.
Reports suggest that the woman approached a family counseling center to express her concerns. She shared that Rajesh only bathes once or twice a month, despite her repeated pleas for him to shower more frequently.
In response, Rajesh admitted to the accusations, citing an “allergy” to water as the reason behind his aversion to regular showers. He explained that he had bathed six times since their wedding, but in some instances, he would only sprinkle water on his body rather than taking a full shower.
Although Rajesh promised to shower daily in the future, his wife has remained resolute in her decision to end the marriage. Her family has also filed a dowry harassment complaint against Rajesh at a local police station, further complicating the matter.
The couple has been asked to return to the counseling center on September 22 for further discussions. Despite Rajesh’s willingness to improve his hygiene, it remains uncertain whether the marriage can be saved, as his wife has made it clear that her husband’s hygiene habits are a non-negotiable deal-breaker.
