Hilarity: Arab Ambassador Annuls Marriage to Bearded, Cross-Eyed Wife

This humiliation could simply have been avoided of they didn't make their women wear Hefty bags over their heads.

An Arab ambassador in Dubai has had his marriage annulled after discovering his new wife is cross-eyed and has a beard, Gulf News reported on Wednesday, citing sources close to the case.

The ambassador, who was not named, petitioned a court in the emirate for a divorce and compensation of 500,000 dirhams ($136,202) for money spend on gifts, the UAE daily reported.

The man only found out about his wife’s appearance after the couple had signed a marriage contract and the husband wanted to kiss his spouse, the newspaper said.

The woman, a Gulf national, had worn a niqab each time they had met, it added.

"Every time the couple met, the bride would do her best not to reveal her entire face,” the source was quoted as saying.

“He claimed to the sharia court officials that when he wanted to kiss his wife-to-be, he discovered that she was bearded and cross-eyed as well.”
