(Web Desk) - Angry women in India have now taken the spat with their mother-in-law to the barter websites by putting them on sale.

Such an incident happened when a daughter-in-law uploaded a post on barter website Faida.com that said: “Mother-in-law in early sixties, a voice so sweet, it can kill the entire neighbourhood. An excellent food critic, no food you make will ever be good enough. She is a great adviser too, there’s always something you can do better!”

The post was uploaded under the tagline "Mother in-law in Good condition" - and was in exchange for a book on mental peace.

While the post was removed within ten minutes of being uploaded, legal experts say that venting of marital frustrations in cyberspace can come with some serious legal repercussions.

Vipul Paliwal, Co Founder and Spokesperson, Faida.com, said: “We do come across nasty posts but they are removed immediately once it comes under our scanner. However, this is the first time when we experienced a post like this.

"As we are a small start-up at present, all the posts uploaded on the site are manually screened. We are working on a system where the posts will be screened before they are made public. Once the posts came under our scanner, it was immediately removed.”

This is second such case that has come to light after a husband’s photo was uploaded on Quikr.com for sale under the "pets and pet care" tab last year.
