Kuwait engineer divorces wife over eye colour

In a strange turn of events, a Kuwaiti engineer in Al-Sabahiya divorced his wife within a few hours of their marriage because of the colour of her eyes.

The incident occurred when the bride’s true eye colour—which her husband mistook for green—was revealed



when she woke up without her contact lenses.

As per a report by Arabic daily Al-Rai, the bride clarified that she wears contact lenses due to vision issues and only removes them at night, and the groom never inquired about her eye colour during their engagement period.
