Man divorces after 12 hours of 'fraud' marriage
2011-10-04
[Emirates 24/7] A Saudi man divorced his wife barely 12 hours after marrying her.
"Talaq, baby! Talaq! Talaq an' be off wit' yez!"
According to 'Okaz' newspaper, the groom apparently received a marriage proposal from the brother of the bride, whom he had seen.
"Wowzers! Now dat's a babe!"
He claimed to be the guardian of the 26-year-old girl as she had no father.
"[Sniff!] She's all alone in the world. Got nobody in the world but me and that cleavage."
After the wedding ceremony the new couple headed to a hotel in Riyadh.
[DING! DING! DING!]
"C'mon! Let's have a room! We're in a hurry! Heh heh heh!"

When the bride took off her veil the man was shocked to learn it was not the woman he had seen and agreed to marry.
"AAAGH! What... I mean who are you?"
The mediator allegedly confessed to have conned the groom by giving away his daughter in marriage after having shown his sister because the former was not beautiful and was not receiving proposals.
"Whoa! Can't imagine why!"
"The lenses in those glasses look like cheese graters!"
"They are cheese graters!"

He returned the dowry taken.
"Take yer filthy lucre and be off... Wait a minute, Buster! Take that... ummm... her with you!"
Meanwhile, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia and chairman of the senior scholars, Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh, said men can terminate a fraudulent marriage.
