A Saudi man divorced his bride immediately he saw her face for the first time on their wedding day

When I read this story, I could not stop laughing for like 10-minutes!
 
A Saudi man who did not see the face of his bride until their wedding day when photographers asked them to pose for photographs has divorced the woman.
 
The couple who are both from the western town of Medina both agreed to marry each other despite having not seen each other physically.
 
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!

The bride and groom

The lady they said collapsed immediately and the wedding turned into a night of crying.
 
This story attracted so many comments on social media, with many people calling the man wicked and callous.  That he could have asked to at least see the face of the bride he wanted to marry before the marriage if he was so much interested in looks.
 
Bride and groom meeting or seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day is a common practise in the Middle Eastern countries.
 
Poor bride!
