Crazy as it may sound, a man from the United Arab Emirates divorced his young wife just days after their wedding, after seeing her makeup free for the first time. The bizarre news was reported by psychologist Dr Abdul Aziz Asaf, who claims that the 28-year-old woman contacted his clinic to help her overcome the psychological suffering caused by the swift and unexpected divorce.
The good doctor did not reveal the woman’s identity for ethical and confidentiality reasons, but told local press that she had been engaged to a 34-year-old man for six months, before marrying him. The man accused Asaf’s patient of deceiving him by wearing so many cosmetics, including fake eyelashes, and not looking as pretty as before the wedding.
It was reported that the young groom first saw his new bride make-up free just days after their wedding, while visiting Al Mamzar Beach for a leisurely swim. The water washed away all her make-up, and the husband was shocked to see the face hiding underneath.
