A Saudi Arabia groom divorced his newly wed wife after two hours of their wedding because the woman send pictures of the marriage ceremony to her friends, despite an earlier pledge not to share wedding photos or video clips with anyone.

The bride’s brother said that, “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. 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 said.

“Misunderstandings, differences in views and the easy approach to marriage without a deep appreciation of the responsibilities that come with it are among the major causes for divorce among young people,” Ahmad Al Maabi said. “Marriages are bound to fail when there are no robust foundations or trust.”

“Following the marriage ceremony, the groom took his bride to the hotel where they had booked a room,” a relative said.

“However, as soon as the bride was in the room, she started using her mobile phone. Her groom tried to get closer with her and become more intimate, but he was shocked when she ignored him, not responding to his words or action. When he asked her about the reasons, she answered she was busy responding to her friends who were congratulating her on her marriage. The groom asked her to delay answering the messages, but she refused and became angry. When he asked her if her friends were more important than he was, the bride answered that they were.”
