An Algerian man is suing his new bride for $20,000 in damages due to “psychological distress” after seeing her without makeup.
He claimed his wife had deceived him by wearing makeup and that he was unable to recognize her bare-faced look, reported Emirates 24/7.
The groom told an Algerian court that his wife looked so different without makeup that he mistook her for a robber.
Prior to the wedding, the wife had always worn makeup and the groom had found her “very beautiful and attractive,” said a source who was present at the trial.
A similar story made the rounds in November, when a Saudi man immediately divorced his wife after the wedding ceremony upon seeing her face.
