A woman’s marriage may end up in divorce after she & her husband changed eighteen houses in the past 3 years due to her crippling fear of cockroaches. The incident occurred in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal. The husband, a software engineer working in the city, had no idea about his wife’s phobia before he married her. But soon after the wedding in 2017, the woman revealed her condition when she saw a cockroach in the kitchen & screamed her lungs out, thereby refusing to enter the kitchen again & insisting they move houses.
The duo moved homes for the first time in 2018 & then kept on shifting homes one after the other for the next 3 years. In fact, the couple has now moved into eighteen new homes but all in vain. According to reports, the man now wants to file for divorce as he is tired of moving to new houses.

Incidentally, the husband tried to get the woman tested at several psychiatric institutes & professionals including one at AIIMS. However, the woman denied following her medication course & has instead accused the husband of trying to baselessly declare her a mental health patient.
The matter was even taken to the men’s rights organisation BHAI Welfare Society for counselling but couldn't resolve the issue. According to reports, the seemingly exhausted husband is now seeking a divorce.
The fear of cockroaches is referred to as Katsaridaphobia & can be debilitating for persons suffering from it. Zoophobias like Katsaridaphobia are usually treated using cognitive behavior therapy through either the ‘Gradual Desentisation’ method or the Exposure method.
