A Saudi groom who divorced his bride on their wedding night has been branded \u201ctotally irresponsible\u201d and \u201cutterly insensitive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple has reportedly accepted to marry without meeting or seeing each other at least one time as is the custom with traditional families that allow the prospective groom and the future bride to exchange looks.<\/p>\n

It was only on the wedding night, and as the female guests from the two families were celebrating the wedding, that the groom saw the bride\u2019s face for the first time in the presence of a hired photograph\"Saudi<\/a>er who was getting ready to take their picture.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are not the girl I want to marry. You are not the one I had imagined. I am sorry, but I divorce you,\u201d the groom told the bride, local daily Okaz reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Under the shock, the bride had a nervous breakdown and broke into tears, drawing the attention of the guests who rushed to her and tried to understand how an evening of happiness was turning into a tragedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe caused her great pain through his irresponsible attitude, and he deserves to suffer,\u201d Afra, a social network user, said. \u201cHe should appreciate that beauty is in the character, not the face. Unfortunately, many young people today are interested only in looks and ignore values and morals. May God give her a better husband who will appreciate her for who and what she is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abu Nass, another user, lambasted the groom.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is not man enough to assume his responsibilities,\u201d he said. \u201cHe is totally, completely insensitive. Nobody has forced him to marry her. He should have insisted on seeing her before the wedding and the engagement, and not wait until the wedding night. May he always be a loser and may he be deprived of getting married at all. He is not a man and he lacks basic feelings,\u201d Abu Nass said.<\/p>\n

Khalid said that the whole case was a catalogue of errors.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if it is a traditional wedding, the two families should have arranged for the man and woman to see each other so that there is no misunderstanding or misconception,\u201d Khalid said. \u201cIf the two accepted each other, the marriage plans would proceed. If not, then everybody seeks another chance in life. But waiting for the wedding night is not right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Badr said that the groom should have been more sensitive and thoughtful.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever the reasons, it is not acceptable or fair to divorce her on the wedding people as the two families are celebrating,\u201d he said. \u201cHe was selfish and foolish.\u201d<\/p>\n
