In a rare incident, a husband filed for divorce from his wife of 3 years on the grounds of cruelty. “She never shows interest in clicking selfies,” he bawled outside the High Court of Mumbai.

“I was ridiculed by my friends for having only 36 photos in an album titled ‘Selfie with Wifey’, where she had no expressions at all.”

Mr. Kasbekar (named changed) got obsessed with clicking selfies after he bought a smartphone six months ago by not eating for two months. While his phone had 4027 features, the one he really used was his 2.8 megapixel front camera. “The only sound that calmed me was that of that camera shutter clicking again and again,” said Mr. Kasbekar. His latest obsession was to click photos of himself taking a photo of himself taking a photo of himself.

On being summoned, the Respondent, Mrs Kasbekar, told the court that her husband would often get depressed if his pictures received less than 50 likes on any social media. To cope with the depression he had created 37 fake profiles just to like his own photos. “He’s crazy! We were once thrown out of a restaurant because he refused to eat the food served until he gets the perfect garnished dish for Instagram,” she complained. After all, it had been a week since he last changed his cover photo.

An expert in divorce cases, Advocate Adalat was shocked on hearing the case. “The world has changed. We already have couples filing divorces over not nominating their partner for ice bucket challenge. It is time couples found more innovative grounds for divorce.”, he said.

The case is up for hearing next month. Mr. Kasbekar has only asked for his wife’s memory card in settlement as it has 30 GB of photos from their last holiday – a three-hour drive to Lonavala.
