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.

Narendrasinh Gohil, project head of Abhayam-181, said, "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."
