Husband Seeks Divorce saying Wife has Beard & Manly Voice: Court Rejects Plea

A family court in Ahmedabad Gujarat has rejected a petition filed by a man seeking divorce from his wife over the ground that she has a beard and has a voice of a man. The man had also contended that he didn’t know, before marriage, that she had facial hair and claimed that the wife’s family duped him.

However, the woman said in her reply to the plea that she had some facial hair due to hormonal imbalance and added that it could be removed through treatment. She alleged that her husband sought divorce as he wanted to kick her out of the house.

After the wife's lawyer made the submissions, the man didn't turn up for further proceedings, prompting the court to dismiss his petition.

Ignorance is not bliss: Okhla Waste to Energy Plant needs to be relocated, residents argue

Questions on the suitability of waste-to-energy plants in Delhi are not new, but the 2,000 tonnes per day Waste to Energy (WTE) plant, situated in the middle of the dense residential areas around Sukhdev Vihar, is not just a major environmental worry but an example of how siting rules can be bent to accommodate a heavily polluting enterprise.
