World’s shortest marriage?

A couple who recently married in the United Arab Emirates must be strong contenders for the title of ‘Shortest Ever Marriage’ after their union came to an abrupt end shortly after the ceremony.

Newspaper The Gulf Today reports that the couple had only just completed the wedding ceremony at a hotel in the town of Sharjah when an argument started.

Apparently, the husband’s brother had promised to rent a camera to record the ceremony, but didn’t to do so. The bride and her mother were annoyed at this failure and made their displeasure known.

According to The Gulf Today, the groom objected to the women criticising his mother and promptly divorced his new wife.
