A resident of Uttar Pradesh's Meerut distrཧict has sought divorce on grounds that his wife, under the influence of a 'tantrik' (shaman), was giv🌼ing him only 'laddoos' to eat.
The man approached a🌜 family court where he said that on the instructions of the 'tantrik', his wife gave him four laddoos to eat in the morning and four in the evening. He was not given or allowed to eat anything else in between.
The couple has 🤪been married for 10 years and have three children.
The man said that he had been ailing ꩲfor som𓄧e time and his wife approached the 'tantrik' who asked her to make her husband eat only the laddoos.
Officials at the family counselling centre were puzzled over 🥂the pretext for seeking divorce.
"We can call the couple for counselling, but we can not treat the woman for being superstitious. She firmly believes that the lad🐟doos will cure her husband and is unwilling to accept otherwise," said a counsellor.
