While I was googling for divorce stories for my second entry on my series What’s Your Story, I found something very interesting on the web.
It was called 10 Tragicomic Divorce Stories from urbantitan.com
Each couple would marry each other hoping to have a happily ever after. Just like in the movies or in fairy tales. Unfortunately it does not happen every time. Here is a list of ten of the world’s most bizarre or, for some, hilarious divorce stories.
I know I have said that divorce is a serious and a very emotional process. However, these stories are really odd and somewhat funny.
Most of the stories on this list come from out of the Western world and have happened in different cultures. Maybe they seem normal somewhere else, but still nobody would like to happen to him or her.
These stories may be funny, but they are actual and are true to life stories.
No bath – no wife
Only a month ago an engineer woman from Egypt had to move to court to divorce her husband after he refused to take a bath in the first month of their marriage. Her “Prince Charming” told her that he has some kind of allergy of water which doesn’t allow him to bathe. Surprised, wife asked for doctor’s advice and he told her that although the decease exists it doesn’t prevent him from cleaning his body. The guy was outraged when his wife confronted him with this fact telling her just that “it was his habit.” He refused to give her divorce, so his wife had to gain it through a court decision.
“Neil Brady has ended his marriage with Emma Brady”
This is a story about becoming-trendy Facebook break ups. Neil Brady updated his status with the message “Neil Brady has ended his marriage with Emma Brady.” Concerned friend of the now-ex-wife called her to ask if she’s all right, but instead of compassion she just caused shock. When Neil Brady came back home from job he’s been acting like nothing happened. But when his wife asked him about the update he lost his temper and threw her out of house and locked her in the back garden accusing her for having an affair. After the incident ended he was fined for his behavior and had to pay compensation to his humiliated wife. Their marriage lasted six years and had one kid.
Without his penis extension – without his wife
Back in 2008, 47 years old Grigory Toporov from Voronezh, Russia added some inches to his masculinity in order to give better pleasure to his demanding wife. Unfortunately, during a wild sex session the extension snapped off. It was enough for his wife to kick him out of the bedroom looking for divorce stating that she was “fed up with his failures in bed.” Toporov bagged her claiming that he aimed to fix the problem getting a new one, but his wife didn’t want to listen anymore.
The wife that couldn’t stand her mother-in-law
This is a characteristic story for tough patriarchal communities mixed up with some Freudian theory example. Only after 10 months in marriage, 22 years old Elena from Romania bid for divorce because she couldn’t stand the remarks of her mother-in-law during the lunch that she’s ruining their marriage. She stated to the court that her life in last ten months turned to nightmare because of her husband’s mother. The judge, of course, asked her to find better reason to separate from her husband, because she was married to him, not his mother.
Not fulfilling the marriage duties
A man named Chen and a woman named Lin, both teachers from China, were introduced by a matchmaker. They got married after three months dating, but then the problems began. On the first night as a married couple Lin dressed up as much as she can wear. When Chen tried to drop all her clothes off intending to sleep with her, she rejected him saying that he is ridiculous. She returned to her mother’s home the very next day, leaving the poor man alone. After one more matchmaker intervention Lin signed a contract agreeing to sleep with her husband, but only for the purpose of procreation, demanding to sleep separately. Chen couldn’t stand that anymore and requested a divorce, which was granted.
