According to Free Press Journal, the woman stated in her divorce petition that both she and her husband are employed and draw good salaries. She added that they could have afforded an overseas honeymoon easily. However, her husband refused and suggested they plan a honeymoon in India, citing the need to care for his parents.
The couple, married five months ago, mutually agreed on a trip to Goa and South India. However, a day before their scheduled trip, the husband informed his wife that they were going to Ayodhya and Varanasi instead. He explained that his mother had expressed a desire to visit the holy city before the Ram Mandir consecration ceremony on January 22.
The woman went on the trip with her husband and in-laws but filed for divorce after returning. She also claimed that her husband prioritised his family over her.
During the hearing at the family court, the husband told counsellors that his wife was making a big fuss about the issue. Advocate Shail Awasthi said the couple is currently receiving counselling.
