Bhopal: Usually, we hear stories of wives getting beaten in domestic violence and thrashed out of homes by their husbands. But in the last one year, a counselling centre in Bhopal has come across 140 cases of husbands getting thrown out of their homes. Now these husbands are crying for justice at woman counselling centres and courts. There a few cases in which husbands, with an association as old as five decades have been abandoned.
Counsellor Rita Tuli said, “ There is a case registered in women police station, where a lady professor Harshita ( name changed) who teaches in a private college has thrown out her lecturer husband Santosh ( name changed) from her home after a scuffle.” She further added that they had bought the flat together after their marriage and it was registered in his name.
During the hearing, Santosh alleged that his wife's relatives started interfering in their personal matters after they acquired the flat and this resulted in household tussles and one day she along with her brothers threw him out. Even the attempts at counselling were of no use.
Tuli also revealed that both have filed for a divorce and the matter is subjudiced in the court. According to Tuli, in last one year, 150 cases of property disputes have been reported.
