A groom divorced his bride just 15 minutes after their Islamic wedding because he felt ‘insulted’ by her father’s bride price demands.
The groom who agreed to pay his new father-in-law Dh100,000 (£20,000) for their wedding in Dubai but the older man became impatient to get the cash.
This is after he paid the first half in the judge’s office as agreed and was to give the rest after.
But bride’s father demanded it on the spot and wouldn’t let him get it from car.
Groom felt ‘insulted and demeaned’ and divorced the woman immediately
This is after the groom handed over Dh50,000 (£10,000) on the spot as agreed, with the rest to come after the party left the court building, according to Gulf News.
He said it would only take five minutes to walk to his car, which was parked outside, and get the rest of the bride price.
Instead of letting him retrieve it, he insisted he either pay right then or send a friend or relative to get the money while he stayed inside.

The groom felt ‘insulted and demeaned’ by the series of demands and called off the marriage immediately, a lawyer handling the case said.
‘He told the bride’s father that he did not want his daughter as his wife and divorced her in less than 15 minutes from signing the marriage contract,’ he said.
