Saudi man divorces wife hours after wedding for sharing pictures on Snapchat

Riyadh: A marriage in Saudi Arabia lasted for not more than two hours after the groom divorced his bride because she shared the pictures of their wedding ceremony on Snapchat.

According to a report in the Khaleej Times, the bride allegedly broke the prenup agreement between the two where she agreed to not share the pictures on social media.

"There was a prenuptial agreement between my sister and her fiancé that she would not use social-media applications such as Snapchat, Instagram or Twitter to post or send her pictures. It was included in the marriage contract and became binding," the bride's brother said.

"Regretfully, my sister did not honour the pledge and used Snapchat to share pictures from the wedding ceremony with her female friends, resulting in the shocking decision by the groom to cancel their marriage and call for divorce," he added.

The incident sparked outrage among the bride's family who accused the groom's family of unfair treatment towards the woman.

Earlier this year, a Saudi Arabian man divorced his wife minutes after their wedding as she ignored him and kept on chatting with her friends on mobile phone.
