A HUSBAND has explained to a court that he seeks to get a divorce from his new wife because he doesn't find her attractive without makeup.
The bizarre incident happened in Egypt, where a man reportedly filed for divorce from his wife-of-one-month, saying he was "deceived" about the woman's appearance.

The husband told Family Court in Heliopolis that he couldn't get used to his wife's natural look, Alkhaleej.ae reported.
He told the court: “I was shocked ... as she looks nothing like the person I met several times before marriage,”
He then explained that the pair met on Facebook, where the woman always posted attractive photos of herself.
Even after meeting her a number of times, he still thought she was attractive and decided to marry her.
But the problems started the morning after the wedding night when he saw his wife without any makeup for the first time.
He added: “I saw her pictures on Facebook, she looks totally different when she does not wear makeup. I was deceived and want to divorce her.”

“I was deceived by her as she used to apply heavy makeup before marriage. She looks ugly without makeup.
“But after the wedding I saw her real face without makeup.
According to Egyptian media, the man told the court he tried to get used to his wife's looks but after a month of marriage, he decided to file for divorce.
“I see her when she wakes up, her hair is messy… And her appearance is completely different from the one I knew when I married her,” he said.
This is not the first time a husband is left disappointed by his wife's bare face.
Back in 2016, a man decided to divorce his 28-year-old bride after a few days of marriage as he claimed she deceived him by wearing cosmetics and false eyelashes.
He said he couldn't recognise his wife when the pair went for a honeymoon swim at Al Mamzar Beach in Dubai and the water washed off the woman's makeup.
