AN INDIAN state has told newly-married women to avoid talking too much on their phones to avoid provoking jealousy from their husbands. The Punjab State Commission for Women issued an official advisory last week urging brides “to focus on their domestic life instead of having long conversations on mobile phones”.<\/p>\n
Commission head Gurdev Kaur Sangha said the advice was designed to avoid suspicion between new couples as they adjust to life together.<\/p>\n
“I found that almost 40 per cent of women consider seeking a divorce on the grounds that her husband and in-laws do not like her talking on mobile phones,” he said. “Most husbands said their wives are always on the phone and they doubted their character as they suspected them of talking to ex-boyfriends.”<\/p>\n
Sangha, 70, said she had seen a rise in complaints from women about domestic violence, sexual harassment and family discord due to arguments over brides’ constant use of mobile phones.<\/p>\n
The advisory noted that most newly-married women were actually calling their parents and not former boyfriends, but warned that passing on hourly updates about their new home was damaging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
