A husband in Egypt divorced his new bride for an absurd reason.
During a hearing at the family court of Cairo, the lawyer of the woman revealed that the morning after the wedding, the woman’s husband started quarrelling with her because of the colour of her eyes after she took off her contact lenses post- event.
The real colour of his wife’s eyes is green which the husband did not know about.
To end the quarrel, the wife tried to tell her husband that poor eyesight compelled her to always wears contact lenses and take them off only when she sleeps, but all was in vain.
On the other hand, the ex-husband of the woman said that since the wife’s eyes are green, their children could also have green eyes — citing that as the reason for asking for a divorce.
According to Al Arabiya News, the woman belongs to Cairo, the capital of Egypt, and is a law student.

Dr. Arooba Tariq, television host, recently shared her experience of being offered a lead role in a major Geo TV drama during a podcast with Hafiz Ahmed. She revealed that despite the significant offer, she declined the opportunity due to her father’s disapproval and her own reservations about the intense scenes requiring close physical contact with co-stars.
“In the media industry, people tend to remember you by your face, especially if you’ve previously appeared on TV shows. As a result, I received a significant offer from Geo TV to play the main lead in a big drama. They genuinely wanted me to be a part of the brilliant ensemble cast of the play.
In an attempt to convince me to take the job, they even brought me to the studio to experience the set and recording processes. My father, on the other hand, was not into it, so I was limited to hosting. I was still thinking about going to the Shahnoor studio, though. Following this, I came to the conclusion that acting was not for me, especially in light of the dramatic sequences that required close physical contact with co-stars. I declined the opportunity since, as a novice, I would not have any creative control over altering such daring situations.

According to the Asian Kabaddi Federation, the ban on the Indian team’s participation in international events will remain in place until powers are given to the selected body.
