A man in India divorced his wife for serving him instant noodles every single day, three times a day.
Judge ML Raghunath said he once presided over a “Maggi case” – where the only reason the man gave for wanting a divorce was that his wife couldn’t cook anything else but noodles for the duration of their marriage, according to The Indian Express.
Maggi is a brand name for noodles.
The judge didn’t reveal the date of the case or names of the couple from the town of Ballari.
“The husband said his wife did not know how to prepare any food other than Maggi noodles. It was noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He complained that his wife went to the provision store and brought only instant noodles,” the judge said.
Raghunath said while India’s divorce rate is low, more married couples had been trying to call it quits in the past few years.
“Divorce cases are increasing drastically over the years. Couples have to stay together for at least a year before seeking divorce. If there was no such law, there would be divorce petitions filed directly from wedding halls,” the judge said.
