His Penis Extension Broke -- And 9 More Crazy Reasons People Divorced

Divorce happens for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes spouses grow apart, sometimes they simply fall out of love. Sometimes one spouse adopts 550 cats and everything goes to hell.

Yes, every so often a divorce story surfaces that's so bizarre, it makes your craziest divorce or breakup moment seem totally normal in comparison. Here are 10 of the most unusual divorce stories we've ever read:

1. He didn't like the movie "Frozen."

Sometimes you just have to, um, let him go if he has bad taste in movies. Apparently, one Japanese woman divorced her husband after finding out that he "didn't care for" the film "Frozen," according to the U.K.'s Metro news. She told him, "If you can’t understand what makes this movie great, there’s something wrong with you as a human being," and demanded a divorce.

2. She was possessed by a genie.

Sometimes a marriage just loses its magic. At least that's what one Dubai man said when he divorced his wife who was "possessed by a genie," according to Gulf News. After she refused to sleep with him, her family told him that she was possessed by a "dijn," a type of genie from Arabic mythology. Several religious experts had reportedly attempted to exorcise said genie to no avail.

3. His penis extension broke.

Pretty self explanatory. After finding out that his wife was unsatisfied in bed, one unfortunate Russian man obtained a special penis prosthetic, according to the U.K's Metro news. When the prosthetic fell off during a wild sexscapade, he promised to get a new one. But, as the man told Metro, it was too late: "She said she was fed up with my failures in bed and wants a divorce."

4. She had an "excessive and insatiable desire for sex."

Apparently you can have to much of a good thing. That's what one Indian man claimed when he divorced his wife because of her insatiable sex drive. He told the court that his wife had been "aggressive, stubborn and autocratic," forcing him to take medication to boost his sexual stamina and threatening to sleep with other men if he failed to satisfy her.

5. He nicknamed her "Guantanamo" in his cellphone.

Not all pet names are created equal. Just ask the Saudi woman who apparently filed for divorce after discovering that her husband had nicknamed her "Guantanamo" if his cellphone, as reported by Al Arabiya news. She discovered the unflattering nickname, based on the infamous U.S. military prison, when she called his cellphone and realized that he had left it at home. The man claimed the nickname was to protect the couple's privacy, saying "I don’t want people sitting around me to know that this is my wife calling." (Apparently, he would rather people think that the Guantanamo Bay prison is calling him?)

6. Her parrot told her that her husband was cheating.

Her feathered friend offered clues when he started saying the words "divorce," "I love you," and "be patient." Soon after, she went to see a divorce lawyer and brought the parrot with her. This is no isolated case: apparently several cheating spouses have been exposed by an overly chatty parrot.
