In his divorce petition, the man claimed that his wife told her about her menstrual condition moments before they went to a temple for prayers after completing the ceremony, reports Times of India. The couple got married in the last week of January. While the man works in a private company, his wife is a teacher.
The man further alleged that after the wedding his wife said that he need not contribute to the monthly expenses of the house as his elder brother is already spending. Instead, she told him to give her Rs 5,000 every month and insisted on installing an air-conditioner in the house. When he said that he cannot afford an AC, she fought with him and went to live at her parents' house, the petitioner claimed.
