Shortest-Ever Marriage: Dubai Man Divorces Bride ‘in Seconds’

A man who divorced his bride just seconds after their marriage in Dubai could have his name go down in the Guinness book of records had he thought about it.

Just after he stepped out of court where he got married, he stepped into another court next door and divorced her.

When he was asked by the divorcing judge how long he has been married to his wife, he did not hesitate when he replied “just seconds.” And he was quick in correcting the judge when he told him “my ex-wife.”

His reason for what could be the quickest divorce in the UAE was that he was forced by his bride’s father to allow her to keep her job.

“This man came to me and said he wanted to divorce his wife…when I asked him how long they have been married, he replied that ‘the ink in the pen which I signed my marriage contract has not dried yet,” said Abdul Salam Darweesh, director of the family rehabilitation and guidance section at Dubai’s courts.
