The couple, from the Saudi town of Medinah, had agreed to marry each other without meetingbefore hand at least once, as is custom for some families in Middle Eastern countries.
However, as the couple posed for their official wedding photograph after the Muslim ceremony, the groom saw his wife’s face for the first time after she removed her veil. According to local media, the groom then immediately asked for a divorce as he was not happy with her appearance.
“You are not the girl I want to marry. You are not the one I had imagined. I am sorry, but I divorce you,” he said, according to local newspaper Okaz.
The bride was then said to have instantly burst into a fit of tears, as members of both sides of the family attempted to comfort her.
