From
Al-Arabiya:An Arab ambassador annulled his wedding after discovering that his bride, who wore the niqab, had a beard and squinted, UAE media reported on Wednesday.
The marriage had been arranged through pictures given by the bride’s family that were later proven to be those of the sister of the bride-to-be.
During the brief meetings with his fiancé the ambassador was unable to see her face as she was fully veiled. Once the marriage contract had been signed, he tried to kiss his wife, a doctor, and discovered "she had a beard and squinted."
According to press reports, the ambassador then logged a court complaint claiming he had been “tricked” by his in-laws and a divorce was granted.
The nationalities of the parties involved were not revealed.
Was the father-in-law named "Laban"?
