...After Seeing Her Face for the First Time
Maybe next time he should skip out on that whole ‘arranged marriage’ thing.
A Saudi groom has divorced his bride on their wedding night after seeing her face for the first time when the photographer asked them to pose for pictures. The couple, from the Western Saudi town of Medinah, had agreed to marry each other despite having not met face to face – a popular custom in certain Middle Eastern countries. But when the bride removed her veil and smiled for the camera, her new husband leapt to his feet in disgust. ‘You are not the girl I want to marry,’ he declared. ‘You are not the one I had imagined. I am sorry, but I divorce you.’ According to local daily Okaz, the bride immediately collapsed in a fit of tears as panicked wedding guests stepped in to try to resolve the dispute. But their efforts were to no avail. ‘The groom said he had not been able to see his bride’s face before marriage,’ Okaz reported. ‘When he divorced her, the bride collapsed and the wedding turned into a night of tears.’ News of the jilting was met with anger on social media.
Well at least he didn’t consumate the marriage before he divorced her...
in that bassackward culture, if he did...she would die an old maid..
Oh that’s horseshit. They are lost and misled, but still human. The truth is staring them in the face.
I had mornings in my old college days when I woke up after a bender under similar circumstances...luckilly, I never married one!
BTTT
guilty or not?
I am sure there are plenty of other first cousins for him to marry.
In islam the 15min marriage is a prostitution contract.
He simply forced her to sin. Christ was right.
One muslim man’s wife was killed in a car accident. When he went to identify her, he couldn’t. Her veil was put back on and only then could he recognize her. He had never seen her without her veil.
I thought that the groom’s female relatives would meet the bride, tell him what she looked like, even show him pictures.
There are tribes in Yemen where the women veil always, even in their homes, and children grow up without ever seeing their mother’s face, until perhaps the daughter’s prepare her for burial.
delete that apostrophe
A Muslim man would always see his wife without a veil. They don’t wear one at home.
I know a Muslim woman who always wears a hijab but when we went to their house, she didn’t wear it. Even around the infidels.
They are varelse. See my freeper page.
A couple decades ago I met this co-worker friend. He was a very handsome guy, great personality, and we were both well-paid engineers. I saw this woman, and made remarks about how ugly and fat she was. I mean, really ugly. Then he mentioned she was his wife. Oops! He didn't hold it against me, and we became friends. They became parents of four kids, but she became ill with cancer and she died a couple years ago. She was ugly, but very sweet and they loved each other intensely. I've known other couples like that, handsome guy but ugly wife, and usually the woman more than makes up for her bad looks with other attributes. Me, I would cringe, a lesser man than my friend.
So you proved my point. It is not for someone else to marry you, you should be the lone judge.
