A Saudi husband divorced his wife after discovering that she is a smoker just two years after they married, a newspaper reported on Monday.

The unnamed man, in his 30s, had suspected his wife smokes behind his back but could not catch her red-handed although he had been watching her, the Arabic language daily Sharq reported from the northwestern town of Tabuk.

“He finally had the chance to catch her….after smelling smoke, he waited for her to go into the toilet and searched her handbag, “ it said.

“He found a pack of cigarette inside the bag….the moment she stepped out of the toilet, he divorced her.”

Smokers are drug addicts. Husbands and wives who smoke should divorce each other.

Either the wife must have been using strong mouth freshner or husband's nose must've been clogged in those moments. Jeez what an excuse to divorce

Maybe with a husband like her's she needed to smoke. Some people are pathetic - he has probably been cheating on her... but of course that wouldn't be reason for divorce because of some men's mentality towards women. I would say let him go ahead and divorce her. Then she can freely smoke some 100 cigarettes a day if she feels so. Or she may feel she no longer needs cigarettes once divorced. How sad.

I am at a loss why, or even how a divorce can be justified on such grounds. Perhaps if there were children involved and passive smoking was an issue but the husband has apparently been unable to confirm his suspicions for 2 years so the wife must have been more than considerate. As for Mo's comment, unbelievable, what century are you living in? It sounds medieval at best! Anyway, I think they may be better off.
