As is the custom in some Middle Eastern countries, the couple from the western town of Medinah had agreed to marry despite having not met face to face.
The couple, who had not met before the arranged marriage, were about to pose for pictures after walking down the aisle.
The husband jumped to his feet and said: “You are not the girl I imagined. I’m sorry – but I divorce you.”A groom told his bride he wanted a divorce as she lifted her veil to show him her face for the first time.
The bride is said to have collapsed in hysterics in Medinah, Saudi Arabia.
