Saudi Husband Divorces Wife at Wedding Reception After Seeing Her Face

BuzzPo Staff
.
A Saudi man divorced his new bride after seeing her face for the first time when she lifted her veil to pose for a photo.
.
The former couple were married despite never having met face to face as is the custom in many countries in the Middle East.
.
The wedding photographer asked the woman to remove her veil to smile for a photo and that's when her husband reportedly recoiled in disgust and said "You are not the girl I had imagined. I am sorry, but I divorce you."
.
At this point, the bride became inconsolable and various guests tried to plead with the groom to reconsider but their efforts were in vain.
.
This comes on the heels of another Saudi man who divorced his wife after she failed to respond to his WhatsApp messages in a timely manner. After rushing home to find her in front of the TV and she explained to him that she was busy chatting with her friends, he divorced her instantly.
.
Under the law in Saudi Arabia, all a man has to do is say "I divorce you" three times and the marriage is dissolved for whatever reason he sees fit. As you might guess, it's nearly impossible for a woman to divorce her husband.
