A well-known Kuwaiti lawyer was quoted on Wednesday as saying that 33 local wives separately visited him early this year and filed for a divorce from their husbands after they spent the New Year in Lebanon although they told them they are flying to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage.

Abdullah al Shibani, who was speaking at a social seminar in Kuwait on Tuesday, said he had handled many divorce cases and some of them were for trifle reasons, according to the Kuwaiti Alsiyassa newspaper.

“The most interesting cases involve 33 women who came to me early this year and filed for a divorce,” he said.

“They all said that their husbands had cheated them when they told their wives they are going to Saudi Arabia for Umra (mini pilgrimage)…but the wives found out later their husbands had flown to Lebanon to spend the New Year.”

Shibani said another case involved a husband who divorced his wife because she dyed her hair without telling him. “Another one divorced his wife because he did not like the smell of her mouth.”
