| Arab ambassador discovers bride is bearded and cross-eyed behind veil |
| 2010-02-10 |
| The envoy had only met the woman a few times, during which she had hidden her face behind a niqab, the Gulf News reported. After the marriage contract was signed, the ambassador attempted to kiss his bride-to-be. It was only then that he discovered her facial hair and eyes. The ambassador told an Islamic Sharia court in the United Arab Emirates he was tricked into the marriage as the woman's mother had shown his own mother pictures of her sister instead of his bride-to-be. He sued for the contract to be annulled and also demanded the woman pay him 500,000 dirhams (£85,000) for clothes, jewelry and other gifts he had bought for her. The court annulled the contract but rejected the ambassador's demand for compensation. The report did not identify the ambassador. |

| #6 I'm sure the woman would use a sugar/honey or beeswax product rather than shave, Besoeker. lotp I believe you may be making a questionable assumption with regard to gender. |

| #5 And in fact shaved hair feels thicker as it grows out, due to the blunt end of the cut hair shaft. Which is why waxing is in such vogue. |

| #4 They won't shave or wax. The old wives' tale that cut hair just grows back thicker is alive and well. |

| #2 I'm sure the woman would use a sugar/honey or beeswax product rather than shave, Besoeker. That is, she would if she knew about them. Apparently she didn't since she failed to use one prior to meeting up with her newly betrothed spouse. And for that matter there are quite effective surgical and rehab exercise programs for strabismus. It's a pity her family didn't bother to invest in them - it would improve not only her appearance but also her ability to read, drive and otherwise participate in the various social and economic activities that are so trendy these days. |

| #1 I'd say he got off rather cheaply. Over time, one could pay £85,000 for shave cream, razor blades, and aftershave. |
