In Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, the District Family Court is handling an increasing number of divorce cases where men are citing safety concerns as their primary reason for seeking a divorce from their wives. Counsellors at the court report approximately 30 such cases each month. While various factors contribute to these disputes, a new trend has emerged where men are claiming they fear for their lives or the lives of their partners.
Recent sensational reports of women involved in the murders of their partners may have contributed to this shift, but experts believe that the main reason lies in the growing education, awareness, and financial independence of women. Counsellors note that in the past, women were the ones fearing violence from their husbands, but now, it is men who are expressing such fears, particularly in urban areas among economically well-off, working couples.
One case involves an MBA graduate who married his BTech wife seven years ago and now files for divorce, claiming she threatens to commit suicide. Another case involves a couple who lived separately for four years after filing for divorce, with the husband fearing his wife might stuff him into a blue drum. The third case involves a working couple who separated just a year after their marriage and now fear for their lives if they return to live together.
