India: Woman sought divorce after her husband forgets to get her packet of ₹5 Kurkure

A woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Agra recently sought divorce from her husband after he did not get her a packet of Kurkure, the popular packaged snack.

The woman’s addiction to the spicy munchies meant that she would ask her husband to get her a ₹5 Kurkure every day. This led to disputes and one day, he forgot to bring home his wife’s favourite snack, according to a report in Live Hindustan.

Angry at being denied her daily indulgence, the woman reportedly left her home and went to her parents’ home. She later approached the police seeking a divorce.

The Shahganj police in Agra sent the couple for family counselling.

The couple got married last year and in the initial months, everything seemed to be going well. However, as months passed, the husband reportedly said he was worried about his wife’s unusual craving for Kurkure as she would ask him to get her the junk food every day.

However, the wife alleged that she went to her paternal home as her husband beat her.
