A couple from India who have been estranged for three years will get back together now that the husband has agreed to provide a proper toilet.
Savita Malviya, 27, from the village of of Mundlaana, was set to divorce husband of seven years, Devkaran, 30, but told court she would reunite with him now that he has promised to install a toilet for the family, which includes two children, Mail Online reported.
The family had been doing their business outdoors and Savita said it caused her a "deep sense of shame," so she took the kids and moved in with her parents.
Devkaran promised the facility will be in place by the next divorce court hearing on Jan. 10, Mail Online reported.
A friendly word of advice for Devkaran if he want’s to stay out of divorce court in the future: Put the seat DOWN.
Maybe Joe the Plumber was onto something.
Dang..I thought I had it bad when my husband put his foot down over a swimming pool.
All’s well that flushes well.
The people across the road from us in the 80s were in the same situation. She ended up leaving anyway.
Do I hear toilettes being removed all over the world?
There is a whole movement in India right now, advising women to refuse to marry men without indoor plumbing.
The guys can pee by the side of the road. Women are expected to hold it until night fall or sneak out into the bushes and risk rape and assault.
And school attendance for girls drops 25% when they hit puberty, because there are no facilities for girls in many bathrooms.
Composting toilet...
I wonder what wives said before Mr. Crapper invented the toilet.
$2400 and the one review is terrible.

What’s with that toilet paper? When I was a kid we had such an outdoor john but the Sears catalog served as the toilet paper. Rough.
It's his way of letting her know he wants nothing but the best for her.
Nice.
Will he also install plumbing?
Does this mean he will place a tarp around the poop hole in the back yard? Does this mean he will dig a deeper hole?
An American woman would still divorce him, and just keep the toilet in the settlement.
dang, high maintenance women can be a pain. lol
Sounds like a luckless guy looking for a wife would do well to go post on some Indian dating sites “Have toilet, will travel” :)
