Bengaluru: A woman with a few lakh followers on videosharing app TikTok chose to part ways with her husband of 12 years after he vehemently objected to her posting videos that he termed were ‘damaging to family values.’ Faris and Najma (names changed) married in 2008 and had a son in 2014. A sales representative, Faris landed a job in Saudi Arabia and left his wife with her parents. “Three years ago, the woman’s neighbour introduced her to Tik-Tok and she got hooked. With a pseudo handle, she started making videos and enjoying the online attention,” said Ekbal Ahmed, a senior counsellor at Parihar family counselling centre at the police commissionerate. He handled the couple’s case after they approached the centre.
Earlier in 2019, Faris received a shocker when a friend sent him a TikTok video of his wife allegedly performing an obscene dance. “He confronted his wife, who accused the friend of morphing her images,” Ahmed added. Unconvinced, Faris quit his job in October and returned to his wife and confronted her. But she accused him of of doubting her. “Finally, she admitted to having made and posted numerous videos on TikTok. The husband then approached police, who referred the matter to us. We tried to reconcile the couple through counselling,” said the senior counsellor.
But the woman was determined to continue being on TikTok. The couple is headed for divorce and is set to battle it out over their son’s custody.
