According to a survey, women cheated on their spouses to escape unhappiness, ignorance, neglect in marriage and husbands' non-involvement in household chores.
Seven out of 10 women in India cheat on their husbands because they do not take part in domestic chores, according to a survey by dating app Gleeden.
A similar percentage of women turned unfaithful because their marriage had become monotonous.
The findings were revealed as a part of the survey titled 'Why do women commit adultery' which was conducted by Gleeden across metros like Bengaluru, Mumbai and Kolkata, which has over 5 lakh users in India.
Among Indian Gleeden users, 20 per cent men and 13 per cent women admitted that they have (at some point) cheated on their spouses.

- Homosexual people trapped in traditional marriages also found same-sex partners in growing numbers.
