Couple divorces after husband forgets to change relationship status on Facebook. 20 years ago would this have been an issue?
An
Indian woman is divorcing her husband because he neglected to change
his relationship status to married on Facebook, the Deccan Chronicle
reported on Tuesday.
Her husband, a 31-year-old businessman, reportedly told the court that
updating his status had simply slipped his mind, as the pair wed only
two months ago. But his 28-year-old IT professional wife pressed on with
the divorce because she "couldn't trust him", high court advocate P.
Subhash told the paper.
The judge reportedly told the newlyweds to undergo six months of
counseling.
We've heard of Facebook causing marital strife before, but usually when a
spouse has used the social networking site to reconnect with an old
flame. Eighty-one percent of lawyers surveyed by the American Academy of
Matrimonial Lawyers in February 2010 said they'd seen an overwhelming
increase in the number of divorce cases that used evidence gleaned from
social networking sites like Facebook.
And though an argument over a Facebook relationship status may seem like
a strange reason to split, it's hardly the weirdest grounds for divorce
that we've ever heard. Click through these seven strange-but-true
divorce causes and vote on which one that you think is the weirdest.
