Complaints By Husbands

Men too equally have their share of complaints where they allege how their wives pressurise them to stay away from their parents. Moreover, men say that wives start demanding separate residence as soon as they enter the marital home after wedding.

The husbands also allege that their wives tend to be suspicious of them in everything and threaten to leave the house on trivial issues.

Counselling Couples

On an average, Women police stations receive about three to four complaints daily. Out of which, 35% of the couples are well-educated. However, according to the report, it is most difficult to counsel highly educated couples, while the less educated ones are willing to compromise and live together.

The primary reason for such quarrels between couples is because they are not ready to listen to each other. Moreover, their suspicions lead to denting the relationships further.

Having said the above, many relationships are saved from drifting apart due to counselling.
