Porn Causes Downfall Of Mumbai’S Marriages

[kamikaze]

Counsellors say pornography places serious strain on married couples in Mumbai, even though it isn't "technically adultery". But it does fall under mental cruelty, say advocates, who want the divorce law amended.

Porn is the new culprit. It's the "other woman", the cause of low self-esteem, depression and constant spats in marriages. So much so that seven out of ten Mumbai couples say that porn is causing their relationships to break down and want a divorce.

Prachi T, 25, (name changed) a professional from the health industry, was happy when her parents found her a suitable groom in 2007. A month later, she was married. Five months later, they had yet to consummate their marriage, and she found pornography videos on her husband's laptop. He said some friends had downloaded it but she later caught him watching them. He defended himself, saying, "Everyone watches porn. It's nothing abnormal." So she asked him why they had not consummated their marriage.

This was followed by three failed attempts. She said, "There was no intimacy, love or affection.

We were strangers even after a year of marriage. Then all of these issues turned to fights. Now there is no other option. I have filed for a divorce."

Prachi is not alone. Psychiatrist Syeda Ruksheda, who is marriage counsellor at Trellis Family Centre, says, "Porn addiction is becoming a major problem in marriages and relationships. Pornography is causing a strain in seven out of 10 married couples that come here for counselling. The spouse of a porn addict usually suffers low self-esteem and blames himself/herself for not being able to satisfy their partner. Also, the issue here is why is a person's spouse attracted to other people?"
