Rising levels of 'excessive suspicion': Spouses keep helpline busy in Gujarat

Data from the Abhayam helpline indicates that distress calls related to extramarital affairs have risen 2.5 times over the past five years. At about 750 calls a month from Gujarat, it was the third most common cause after domestic violence and harassment to ring up the helpline. But the helpline is also attending to an average of one or two cases daily from the state where counsellors suggest psychological counselling couples where both or either spouse develops paranoia over mobile phone contents.
