Recently, the Internet community was excited by the news that a UAE resident divorced his wife after seeing her without makeup.
The couple was relaxing on the beach in Sharjah. The husband was amazed when he saw his wife after bathing. The water washed off the makeup from the woman's face and for the first time she appeared before her husband without makeup. The man was not impressed by the natural beauty of his wife, and when he found out that the woman also had several plastic surgeries and was wearing colored lenses and false eyelashes, he immediately demanded a divorce.
However, divorces for such ridiculous reasons occur all the time in Arab countries. In order to divorce his wife, it is enough for the husband to say the word “Talak” (divorce) three times, and the woman must immediately leave the house. True, at the same time she will receive monetary compensation, which was stipulated in the marriage contract.
It often happens that the husband shouts out fatal words in a fit of anger, and then runs around the courts with a petition to annul the divorce on the grounds that he was in a state of passion.
What else could cause a divorce in Arabic?
Morning after the first wedding night
The case mentioned above is not one of a kind. A year ago, the Algerian filed for divorce the day after the wedding. He was shocked when, in the morning, after their wedding night, his wife washed off her makeup. He couldn't even recognize her.
“I thought that a thief had entered my apartment. Before marriage, she looked very beautiful and attractive."
In court, the disappointed man demanded from his wife not only a divorce, but also compensation for moral damages in the amount of $ 20,000.
Wedding photo session
In the city of Medina (Saudi Arabia), the husband announced that he was filing for divorce immediately after the marriage. As is often the case in Arab countries, the wedding was arranged by the parents of the young couple and, of course, no one bothered to introduce the bride to the groom. During the wedding feast, the photographer asked the newlywed to throw back the veil from the girl's face. When the newly-made husband did this and saw the face of his young wife for the first time, he immediately stated:
“You are not the girl I would like to marry. I imagined you completely different. I'm sorry, but I demand a divorce."
Smartphone
Another man from Saudi Arabia decided to divorce on their wedding night. As soon as the newlyweds retired in the bridal suite, the woman took out her smartphone and plunged into communication with friends, completely forgetting about her husband and not paying attention to his flirting.

He left the hotel and filed for divorce the next day. The judge tried to dissuade him, but where there! The claim was upheld.
Desire to help
If in the previous case the husband filed for divorce because of the indifference of his wife, then in this story the young wife, on the contrary, showed excessive concern for the faithful. It happened during the first wedding night. The inexperienced newlywed could not cope with the excitement and could not fulfill his marital duty. The wife decided to cheer him up and began to explain what he should do. She probably got this information from the Internet. But instead of thanking her, the man went berserk: he decided that the woman was being too lecherous, and kicked her out of the house, and the next day filed for divorce.

Unlocked car door
The Arab family was returning home. The wife got out of the car and took the child home without closing the car door. The husband demanded to return and close the door.
