According to reports, the disgruntled husband thought it best to end the marriage because he was absolutely tired of having nothing to eat but noodles all day. While divorce cases are generally low in India, they are slowly on the rise as more women move from rural areas to be independent and part of the growing working-class community. Many years ago, the responsibility of making sure homes were well kept and tummies were happy and full fell solely on a wife’s shoulders. Times have changed drastically since then and now household chores and expenses are often divided equally among men and women.

This was certainly not the case for an Indian couple who recently got a divorce because the husband was tired of eating noodles. According to principal district and sessions court judge ML Raghunath, he presided over the case which he has since dubbed the “Maggi case” – because of the popular Maggi noodle brand. The New Indian Express reports that the man grew tired of eating noodles that his wife prepared for him for breakfast, lunch and supper every single day. Eventually, this led to their divorce upon mutual consent.
