Jordanian divorces wife after seeing her in crowd welcoming Lebanese pop star Ragheb Alama

Dubai: A Jordanian man reportedly divorced his wife after seeing her among a group of women gathered to welcome Lebanese pop star Ragheb Alama at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, according to local media reports.

According to reports, the woman told her husband she was visiting her family that day.

Instead, she went to the airport without his knowledge or consent to join a crowd of fans awaiting the singer’s arrival.

Her husband later spotted her in a widely circulated video clip showing scenes from the airport welcome.

The footage, which captured the enthusiastic reception for Alama, quickly went online, attracting public attention, and leading to the end of the couple’s marriage.

The incident, which took place during Alama’s recent visit to Jordan for a concert, has sparked a wave of reactions across social media platforms in the country.

Neither the husband nor the woman has made a public statement.
