Dubai court annuls marriage to 'bearded lady'

**Jana Lewis** · 02-10-2010, 11:23 AM

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... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8508077.stm

Ok, I have to ask... Why sad for the bride?

He's the one that was duped, she was the accomplice.

EDIT: The court wouldnt even consider his claim for $130K in gifts returned, She made off like a bandit.

Just the whole situation. I mean, can you imagine what it would be like to have a court case going on, due to the fact that someone finds you repulsive?

There's a chance that she didn't even know what picture her mother showed the potential groom. Seriously, it looks like she's just an unwanted person, stuck in the middle...

I'm with you on that perspective :o

No doubt if the roles were reversed she'd have no recourse.

I know a great guy with a cranial birth defect and strabismus who's Zoroastrian parents arrange a marriage to a beautiful girl. Five years going strong and counting.

What's the big deal? Put her veil back on and turn her around.

Wow, John, you're getting soft... actually showing compassion for another human being... what's going on?
