SEVERE HEADACHES

A 38-year-old female executive from a multi-national company complained of severe headaches.

When treatment failed, she was referred to a psychiatrist who found that her suspicious husband could be the cause behind her sickness.

'She used to earn at least Rs 25,000 ($900) more than the husband,' said Dr Vaishnav.

'Needless to say, the job was demanding.'

Her long hours at work made home life a torment.

Added Dr Vaishnav: 'The husband got so suspicious that he made life hell for her - calling up office colleagues and demanding details of her whereabouts.

'After counselling, she finally left the job to save her marriage.'

The paper described how another woman had to change her job.

'She had been instructed to always remain accessible and give details of her whereabouts,' Dr Vaishnav said.

Over 90 per cent of the women interviewed believed suspicion in marriage leads to divorce, according to the survey.

They also said making adjustments meant doing what their husbands asked.
