Teenager Divorces Husband For Not Having Sex With Her On Wedding Night

An 18 year old woman had to divorce her new husband after they were unable to have sex on their wedding night because of his erectile dysfunction.

Two weeks after the discovery the teen’s family insisted on immediate divorce to avoid their daughter
being branded infertile.

Despite being teased by some locals in her native Katna village in Murshidabad, West Bengal state, the woman said:“On our wedding night, I realised that my husband has erectile dysfunction.

In our village, marriages have broken up earlier. But no girl has ever cited impotence as a reason. But had I not spoken up, I would have had to suffer all my life.”

Moreover, soon afterwards the relatives demanded to return her 110.000 (around N328.000) dowry back and requested a local non-governmental organization called Street Survivors India to help them deal with the delicate situation.

Eventually, the woman’s case was taken to a family court, where she was granted a divorce. Meanwhile, the groom’s family was ordered to pay back the entire dowry in cash.
