Family Court Granted Divorce For Lack of Toilet in Rajasthan
A woman got married to a person in Rajasthan in the year 2011. She filed a divorce petition in the year 2015. The couple has no children. She has stated in her petition that there was no toilet facilities as well as privacy in their married life.
A family court in Rajasthan’s Bhilwara district heard the case and granted divorce to the woman on the ground that there was no toilet in the house, holding that it amounted to “cruelty”. Further, the Judgement delivered on Friday 18th by court Judge Rajendra Kumar Sharma reads “Women in villages had to wait for dark to go out to relieve themselves and had to bear physical pain. A toilet was necessary at home and going to defecate in the open was “disgraceful” for society and a “torture” to women”.
