Jealous hubbies, miserable women
Survey shows husbands are making life hell for working wives in India
GREEN-EYED husbands are making working women blue.
A survey of 60 women in India showed that 25 per cent of them had to leave their jobs or change them because of jealous husbands.
The paper, presented by psychiatrist Dr Mrugesh Vaishnav, looked at how suspicious husbands have made life miserable for women in Ahmedabad in the past two years, reported The Times of India.
The paper, entitled 'Does suspiciousness of husbands affect conjugal harmony?', revealed that the men's incessant questioning and checking led the women to suffer ailments like insomnia, headaches, abdominal and chest pain and loss of interest in sex.
SEVERE HEADACHES
A 38-year-old female executive from a multi-national company complained of severe headaches.
When treatment failed, she was referred to a psychiatrist who found that her suspicious husband could be the cause behind her sickness.
'She used to earn at least Rs 25,000 ($900) more than the husband,' said DrVaishnav.
'Needless to say, the job was demanding.'
Her long hours at work made home life a torment.
Added DrVaishnav: 'The husband got so suspicious that he made life hell for her - calling up office colleagues and demanding details of her whereabouts.
'After counselling, she finally left the job to save her marriage.'
The paper described how another woman had to change her job.
'She had been instructed to always remain accessible and give details of her whereabouts,' Dr Vaishnav said.
Over 90 per cent of the women interviewed believed suspicion in marriage leads to divorce, according to the survey.
They also said making adjustments meant doing what their husbands asked.
