Wife-t0-be is bearded, cross-eyed behind veil
An Arab ambassador called off his wedding after discovering his wife-to-be, who had worn a face-covering veil whenever they met, was bearded and cross-eyed.
The envoy had only met the woman a few times, during which she had hidden her face behind a niqab (face covering veil).
After the marriage contract was signed, the ambassador attempted to kiss his bride-to-be, upon which he discovered she had facial hair and was cross-eyed.
The ambassador told a Shariah court in the United Arab Emirates that he was tricked into marriage as the woman’s mother had shown his mother the pictures of her sister instead of her.
He sued for the contract to be annulled and also demanded the woman pay him 500,000 dirhams ($136,000) for clothes, jewellery and other gifts he had bought for her.
The court annulled the contract but rejected the ambassador’s demand for compensation.
