In a bizarre incident that seems more suited for fiction than reality, a housewife experienced a divorce in absentia after rejecting her husband's request to sell her kidney so he could purchase a tuk-tuk with the proceeds. Attorney Noha El-Gendy recounts the story on behalf of her client, the housewife, who was taken aback when her husband brought up the idea of selling kidneys as a lucrative venture. She never imagined he meant for her to sell her own, so when he explicitly asked her to do so to fund a tuk-tuk, she was shocked and refused.
After some time, the husband reiterated his request, and the wife responded that it would be better for him to work to earn money rather than resort to selling a kidney. If he was set on the idea, she suggested he sell his own, not hers. However, she was surprised by his reaction; he argued that selling his kidney was a dangerous operation that could affect his health, questioning how he could drive a tuk-tuk if his health suffered.
The wife soon realized that buying a tuk-tuk was not the real reason behind her husband's strange request. Driven by his insistence, she checked his phone and stumbled upon a conversation between him and his sister. In it, he expressed that he had heard from others that those who donate a kidney often experience poor health and die within a year, citing that he was still in the process of convincing his wife to donate a kidney so he could marry someone else.
After confronting her husband with the information she discovered in the messages, which revealed his intention to marry another woman using the money from her kidney, they had a heated argument. He proceeded to divorce her in absentia and evicted her from their marital home, despite her being the custodial mother of three children after eight years of marriage. The court has ruled in favor of the wife in the case concerning her right to the marital home, and other related cases against her husband are still pending in court.
