According to Okaz, a local Medina magazine, when the photographers asked the couple to pose for photographs, and the woman lifted her veil, the man leapt to his feet in disgust saying, '' You are not the girl I want to marry, you are not the one I had imagined.  I am sorry, but I divorce you''.  LWKMD o!
