Man divorces wife over meal

She forgot to add carrot to his favorite peas dish

A Palestinian man divorced his wife on the first day of the fasting month of Ramadan because she forgot to add carrot to his favorite peas dish.

The man in the occupied Palestinian territories has just returned home for iftar (evening meal) and went straight to the kitchen to check the cooking.

When he lifted the pan cover, he noticed there was no carrot mixed with the peas, the papers said, without mentioning where exactly he lives.

When his wife told him she forgot to add carrot, the husband went made and divorced her just minutes before he was to have his iftar, they said.

    1. Who wants to be married to a rabbit, anyway? Good for her! She probably left it out on purpose. lol 2. Even if he used the carrot thing as an excuse to divorce, it shows he failed to be honest and now he's seen as a ridiculous laughing-stock. lol 3. He could be one of those people with a mental trigger to have things JUST RIGHT or no game. People like that actually exist.

    Fasting teaches us patience not anger.

    That's just stupid.... He probably wanted to divorce her from before and the carrot issue is not the main reason for the divorce.

    She's much better off without him.

    What is wrong with people? Well, my guess is that this was an arranged marriage. The husband and wife don't actually love each other. The husband just sees the wife as his servant, not a loving partner. If there is no love to hold a marriage together, then it can unravel quite easily.
