I would love to see this episode of “Divorce Court.”
An Arab ambassador called off his wedding after discovering his wife-to-be, who had worn a face-covering veil whenever they met, was bearded and cross-eyed, the Gulf News reports.
The envoy had met the woman only a few times, during which she had hidden her face behind a niqab, the paper said on Wednesday.
After the marriage contract was signed, the ambassador tried to kiss his bride-to-be. It was then that he found she had facial hair and was cross-eyed, it said.
Buyer beware.
The man was pretty upset. Seems like he had been scammed by the would be mother in law:
He sued for the wedding contract to be annulled and also demanded the woman pay him 500,000 dirhams ($156,330) for clothes, jewellery and other gifts he had bought for her.
The court annulled the contract but rejected the ambassador’s demand for compensation.
He never could figure out why the mother asked for a Braun. Now he knows.
