The court has accepted a woman's request to be divorced by her husband because he was not building her toilet at home.
The Indian woman, in her 20s, was married for five years, but had to be released in open fields near the house, broadcasting Express.
Indian law allows divorce only under limited circumstances, such as domestic violence or proven cruelty.
The woman's lawyer said about AFP that the judge has stressed that forced poop in open fields is a kind of torture.
The court, in Rajasthan State, has said that women are often forced to wait until dark to appear in open fields that were used instead of toilets.
The court ruling stated: “We spend money to buy tobacco, alcohol and mobile phones, but we do not have the will to build toilets to protect the dignity of our families. In villages, women must wait until sunset to respond to nature's calls. This is not only physical cruelty but also a violation of women's modesty.” /Express/
