Lady embarrassed to go out with him

A Saudi woman in her 20s has filed for a divorce from her new husband on the grounds he is very short and embarrasses her in public places.

The woman, who married nearly seven months ago, told the Department of Islamic Affairs in the Eastern Saudi province of Al Qateef that her friends and other people “look with sarcasm” at her when she goes out with her husband.

“She wants to be divorced on the grounds she feels embarrassed when she goes out with her short husband…this is one of the strangest divorce cases we handle,” Sheikh Mohammed Al Jirani, a judge at the Department, told Okaz Arabic language newspaper, which did not mention how short the husband is.

Nobody will know who in under the Burka

OK, we know the old trick of hiding an ugly face behind the veil. What did this palooka do? Platform boots?

Easy solution...just swap the baggy clothes and people will think the taller on is the male.

That was my first thought as well.

If so, she's cut him down to size. Unusual in an Islamic society, where the husband is king and the wife is little more than chattel.

I’d guess arranged marriage, she never saw him before the ceremony.

It’s Saudi Arabia. Do you really think she saw him before the wedding?

I am guessing he is proportional and that’s the true issue.
