A Saudi bride immediately asked for a divorce after learning her groom lost SR1 million (Dh995,000) in local Forex speculation.
The unnamed man has just signed his marriage contract and was bracing for a grand wedding when he received a text on his mobile phone saying he lost the sum.
“He got a shock and was rushed to hospital in a bad condition after losing most of his life savings. The bride quickly asked for a divorce,” Okaz daily said.
The paper did not say whether the bride got the divorce nor did it mention where in Saudi Arabia the couples.
