Gujarat: 19-year-old mother calls helpline seeking divorce to live with PUBG partner

The woman met a fellow PUBG player, who is also from Ahmedabad, and became so close to him that she wanted a divorce from her husband and wanted to live with this man, officials of Abhayam told indianexpress.com.

A 19-year-old mother from Ahmedabad recently rang up a women’s helpline seeking help to get a divorce from her husband so that she could live with her gaming partner. An avid PUBG (Players Unknown Battleground) player, the woman played the popular multiplayer online game with her partner on a constant basis, said officials from the helpline— ‘Abhayam-181′.

Responding to the woman’s plea, Abhayam assigned a counselling team, which then visited her house and talked to the family enquiring about the issue. The team found out that she had been spending much time on her mobile phone playing PUBG, which created differences between her and the family.

Project head of Abhayam 181 helpline Narendrasinh Gohil told The Indian Express that on an average, the helpline received about 550 calls a day, of which “around 90 had to be addressed by a team of counsellors that visited their homes”. He added that this was the first call of its kind. Usually, mothers would call complaining about children addicted to PUBG, said Gohil.>

Sonal Sagathiya, the counseller in charge, who met the woman, advised her to reconsider her decision. “She was further offered to stay at a rehabilitation centre in Ahmedabad. However, she refused because it did not allow the use of mobile phones,” said Sagathiya.

“As a policy of Abhayam helpline, the counsellors didn’t force a decision on the lady and just counselled her on the options available to her. The woman said she needs time to think about it and will call the helpline if she needs further help,” Gohil added.

New Zealand edge ahead on see-saw day

On Day 3 of their second Test versus Bangladesh in Hamilton, when fortunes swung back and forth, New Zealand edged ahead at close of play. The hosts were 38 for 2, still trailing by 173. After cleaning up the visiting side for just 211, the New Zealand camp would have hoped for a steady start. However, the pace duo of Abu Jayed and Ebadat Hossain combined to trouble New Zealand's openers. The pair extracted movement off the pitch with Jayed also generating a hint of swing to beat the bat of both Jeet Raval and Tom Latham on a few occasions. Eventually, Jayed was rewarded for his perseverance as from round the wicket he got one to curve away to dismiss Latham. Raval followed his partner back to the hut by lofting a sucker ball from Jayed to covers. Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson then survived a few anxious moments before a spell of rain forced the umpires to call off the rest of the final session. Among the two mainstays of New Zealand's batting order, Taylor took th
