A woman was divorced just a few hours after the wedding took place.
We know how sad it is, but the reason for divorce is terrible. You could not have guessed that the bride was divorced by the groom just because she was too busy texting. Yes, you read that right, TEXTING.
After the wedding the groom took the bride back to their hotel room in the city of Jeddah. But according to local news reports, when he tried to get intimate with her, his wife refused to pay him any attention and instead continued to respond to congratulatory messages from friends on her phone.
Husband asked her what was more important to her, him or her friends? For the answer she told him her friends. This did not go well with the groom and he left the hotel.
The matter has gone to the court, which has referred the case to the reconciliation committee to see if the two can make things work but the groom is too wounded to make amends.
Social mediums including Facebook and WhatsApp are playing a big role in increasing the number of divorce cases in Saudi Arabia. Addiction to the Internet and online flirting account for over 50 percent of marital disputes recorded in the emirate. Many of these disputes, at times, even get aggravated to the level that they turn into a physical assault, verbal abuse or even end up with couples seeking divorce.
This is something which needs to be thought about and one needs to work on such addictions which are hampering their relations.
