Woman Files for Divorce Over Husband’s Refusal to Shower For Two Months


Egypt - An Egyptian woman filed for divorce at the Family Court because her husband hasn't showered since they got married—two months ago. Yara Saad Al-Din, 23, met Aysar Ali, a 31-year-old engineer, on a plane. A week later, he proposed, and the two were married. According to the divorce papers, Ali told his wife he had not showered for two months because of a skin disease that made him allergic to water. The wife then consulted his doctor, who confirmed the husband's claim, but assured her his disease has nothing to do with water.
When Ali refused to grant Al-Din a divorce, she said she filed for khol'a – an Islamic arrangement which grants women a divorce if they renounce their financial rights. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Readers Digest Store
