Woman in India leaves husband because house had no toilet...

A newly-wed woman in a village in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh recently left her husband's home because the house had no toilet.

Anita Narre returned eight days later after her husband, a daily wage worker, built one with savings and aid from villagers.

An NGO announced a $10,000 reward for Mrs Narre for her "brave" decision and forcing her husband to build a toilet.

More than half a billion Indians still lack access to basic sanitation. Full story...

Don't miss:
  1. "No toilet, no bride" Indians fight for better hygiene...
  2. Girls drop out of schools in India because of lack of toilets...
  3. "India can win Nobel prize for dirt and filth!!!"
  4. Lack of toilets costs India $54 billion annually...
  5. More mobile phones than toilets!!! India's sanitation crisis...
  6. Agra railway station platform in India is also a toilet!!!
