Warning to all the ladies obscuring their real faces under layers upon layers of make-up, the law is out to get you.
An Algerian groom is furious after seeing his wife for the first time without make-up gave him the shock of his life. The groom was so shocked; he thought ‘a thief’ had invaded his house.
So he’s suing his new bride for $20,000, for ‘psychological suffering’ that he claims he’s had to endure.
An Algerian groom took his bride to court just a day after their marriage, accusing her of not looking as pretty as before the wedding and of cheating him with much make-up.
The groom, who is seeking $20,000 damages, told court in the capital Algiers that he was shocked when he got up in the next morning and found that his wife looked so different, that he could not recognise her.
Newspapers in the North African Arab country said the groom swore in court that he even mistook his wife for a “thief who came to steal his apartment”.
“The groom told the judge that he could not recognise his wife after she washed the make-up off her face.
“He said he was deceived by her as she used to fill up her face with make up before their marriage,” the papers said, quoting a court source.
“He said she looked very beautiful and attractive before marriage, but when he woke up in the morning and found that she had washed the make-up off her face, he was frightened as he thought she was a thief.
“The groom told court that he is demanding $20,000 damages for his psychological suffering.”
