Japanese Man Arrested for Nuisance Calls to Wife

In a troubling case from Japan, a man was arrested for making over 100 silent calls daily to his wife, driven by jealousy after he became suspicious of her phone conversations with other men. The 31-year-old woman reported the harassment to the police after noticing a pattern that the calls stopped when her husband was sleeping or occupied. After conducting her own investigation during a shopping trip, where she observed her husband not using his phone while the calls ceased, she confirmed her suspicions. The police confirmed that the man had made the calls in private mode to hide his identity, despite no prior known issues in their relationship. He claimed his actions stemmed from love, but the incident has sparked national discussions about controlling behavior and the importance of communication in relationships. Under Japanese law, making nuisance calls can lead to significant penalties, and the husband was arrested with the details of his punishment yet to be disclosed.
