A man who referred to his ex-wife as “chubby” in his mobile phone contacts has been accused of being disrespectful and harmful to their marriage.

A court in Turkey has ruled that the man’s pet name for his ex-wife caused her emotional harm.

According to the Turkish news outlet Sabah, a woman in Usak, Western Turkey, filed for divorce, citing emotional breakdown, while her husband countersued, accusing her of infidelity.

The couple reportedly have children, though their details were not disclosed.

During the hearing, the woman said that her husband had sent her multiple threatening text messages, including “Get away, I do not want to see you” and “Let the devil see your face”.
