A Muslim man in Etawah left his wife over his love for a herd of 14 cows.
Afaq Ali alias Munna in Etawah district said that when his wife asked him to choose between her and his 14 cows, he went for the latter.
The story is 13 years old, but the man is sharing its details at a time when some vigilante cow-protection groups have in recent times targeted Muslims in some states over allegations of cow slaughter and beef consumption.
After Afaq made his choice in his cows, Afroz Jahan, who had married him in 2001, left his house at Bais Khwaja locality immediately. People in the village said that the panchayat tried to encourage the couple to reach a compromise, but Afaq felt that his love for bovine companions was greater.
