A woman who agreed to marry a man after seeing a photograph of him in traditional headdress is demanding a divorce after she discovered he was in fact bald.
A Sharia Court is currently looking into the divorce claim that the UAE national wife filed last month.
The court heard the parents of the UAE national man visited the wife's family. In line with traditional marriages, the groom's family presented their son's picture to the bride's family.
The prospective bride saw the man portrayed in local headgear and agreed to marry him.
After signing the marriage contract the couple met face to face and the wife was shocked to discover her new husband was bald. She immediately refused to live with him and decided to file for divorce.
In her claim, she said she had been cheated and did not want a bald husband. She maintained she would never have married him had she known he was bald.
In an attempt to resolve the matter, the court officials summoned the husband, who in turn grew irritated and decided to refuse any settlement.
He said he also wanted a divorce. The couple have not been officially divorced and court officials are still trying to settle the dispute.
