An Indian sand maker
woman is filing for divorce after her husband failed to change his relationship
status to married on social network site Facebook.
The 28-year-old has
already approached the family court seeking divorce saying that she can not
trust him after her failed to announce their marriage on the website.
The
Telugu couple had an arranged marriage just two months ago and the case was
filed in the jurisdiction of an Aurangabad court where the women is thought to
live.
According to the Deccan Chronicle her husband told the court that he
had forgotten to update his status, but the judge has given the two parties six
months to undergo counselling. Speaking to the Indian based newspaper High Court
advocate Mr Subhash said, 'I came to know of the above incident from the
magistrate in the Aurangabad court.
'The Hyderabadi husband had told the
judge that he was so busy post marriage with family and his furniture business
that he really had no time to check his FB or change his status. He was willing
to do so now or even de-activate his account, however, the woman was not keen to
continue with the marriage and she says her husband might be doing things behind
her back and she couldn’t trust him.'
Although there are thought to be few
cases whereby the failure to change a status of a relationship has caused a
breakdown Facebook is increasingly being used as a source of evidence in divorce
cases, according to lawyers.
The social networking site was cited as a reason
for a third of divorces last year in which unreasonable behaviour was a factor,
according to law firm Divorce-Online. The firm said it had seen a 50 per cent
jump in the number of behaviour-based divorce petitions that contained the word
‘Facebook’ in the past two years.
Mark Keenan, managing director of
Divorce-Online, said: ‘Facebook has become the primary method for communicating
with friends for many people.
'People contact ex-partners and the messages
start as innocent, but lead to trouble.‘If someone wants to have an affair or
flirt with the opposite sex then it’s the easiest place to do
it.’
Thirty-three per cent of the 5,000 behaviour petitions filed with the
firm in the past year mentioned the site. The most common reasons for Facebook
causing problems in relationships were a spouse finding flirty messages, photos
of their partner at a party they did not know about or with someone they should
not have been with.
