Dubai court annuls marriage to 'bearded lady'

The envoy discovered the deception on lifting the woman's veil to kiss her
An Arabic country's ambassador to Dubai has had his marriage contract annulled after discovering the bride was cross-eyed and had facial hair.

The woman had worn an Islamic veil, known as the niqab, on the few occasions the couple had met.

The envoy, who has not been identified, told a Sharia court her mother had tricked him by showing him pictures of the bride's sister, Gulf News reported.

He only discovered the deception when he lifted the woman's veil to kiss her.

The court had annulled the marriage contract but rejected a $130,000 (£83,000) compensation claim for gifts he had bought his intended, the report said.

:lol:

If she was cross-eyed, wouldn't that have been discovered earlier?:blink:

aww, you got to it before me! I was just about to post...

You have to feel sorry for them really though. Marriage day, romantic lifting of the veil... husband recoils in horror, woman bursts into tears. Happy memories...

Poor lass she must feel a bit down in the dumps to say the least!

If he had so much cash why doesnt he just send her off for a bit of laser treatment- excess hair is often a sign of cystic ovaries and is actually easily treated- the cross eyes Im not sure you can do much about though, and as my very wise granny told me beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. and generally ugly/fat girls are better in bed as they feel they have to give more than uber pretty girls! Maybe hes just missed out on the best shag of his life!
