In Bhopal, A Woman Made Her Husband Shift Houses 18 Times Because She’s Scared Of Cockroaches
From feeling suffocated in confined spaces to having a fear of water bodies, there are a number of fears that people have. From the more commonly recognised like Claustrophobia, Acrophobia, hyrdophobia, to even autophobia (fear of being alone), thanks to the lockdown, there are a million things one could possibly have the fear of. But only seldom does that fear will drive you towards a divorce. Like in this case, where a man filed a divorce with his wife, after she made them change houses 18 times due to her fear of cockroaches.
This is the story of a couple from Bhopal, where the wife made her husband change 18 houses since their wedding for her fear of cockroaches.
The husband was made aware of her wife’s phobia after they tied the knot in 2017. Recalling the time when his wife spotted a cockroach on the kitchen slab and ran out screaming, the husband claimed that her scream was loud enough to scare all the family members. If that wasn’t all, she then kept urging her husband to change houses, which he did.

Shifting from one house to another didn’t stop at that first time in 2018 either. Since then, they were made to shift into 18 different houses. The man shared how he tried to take her to several private psychiatrists including one at AIIMS for treatment but she refused to take any medication prescribed. Meanwhile, the wife alleged that her husband was simply unwilling to understand her fear and just trying to declare her mentally ill by getting her on medications.
The couple also tried to make their marriage work by visiting BHAI Welfare Society, an organization that works for men trapped in fake dowry and domestic violence cases, to get counselling from Zaki Ahmed, the founder of this organization. Alas, nothing worked.
Ultimately, tired of his routine and embarrassed of his wife for making him and his family constantly play musical houses, the man decided to seek legal counsel and file for a divorce. The man, who is a software engineer by profession, was ashamed of filing for divorce based on this decision but he decided he couldn’t put up with her wife’s phobia anymore.
