Saudi man divorces wife for ignoring his WhatsApp messages

The husband, in his 30s, was
frustrated by his wife's seemingly
endless interest in using her phone for chatting with friends and family.

DUBAI: A Saudi man has divorced his
wife after she ignored his WhatsApp
messages despite reading them.
The husband, in his 30s, was frustrated by
his wife's seemingly endless interest in
using her phone for chatting with friends
and family.
"She spent most of her time on the
phone to the point that she neglected
looking after their home and taking care
of their child," he said.
On asking why she didn't answer him or
acknowledged his messages, the wife said
that she was busy talking with her friend.
The man claimed that his wife is too busy
with her friends to answer his messages.
He claimed that his best efforts to find
remedy to the situation has failed as his
wife needed to be on her smartphone to
keep in touch with her family and friends.
"I sent her messages on WhatsApp and
knew she had read them because of the
latest update on the application but still
she didn't answer him or acknowledged
his messages," he was quoted as saying
by the Gulf News.
A recent survey has seen a rise in the
number of divorce cases because of social
networking sites. A 2011 UK survey by
Divorce Online, a legal services firm, says
more than a third of divorce cases contain
the word Facebook.
