A remarkable and unprecedented divorce case in Kuwait has drawn attention on social media. 2019 saw the shortest marriage in recorded history end in divorce after just three minutes of marriage.
This peculiar event happened in front of a judge who performed the marriage ceremony and issued the divorce decree.
Recently, the story reappeared and quickly gained popularity on social media. The bride stumbled and collapsed shortly after their court wedding ceremony, bringing an abrupt stop to the couple’s brief relationship. Rather than console her, the fiancé called her a “fool.”
The bride was infuriated by this disregard and asked the judge to dissolve the union right away.The couple’s formal divorce was finalized three minutes after the judge granted his request.
A spirited discussion about tolerance and respect in relationships has been sparked by this incident on social media. On X, a member related a personal story about going to a wedding where the groom made fun of his bride the entire time he spoke.
They implied that the bride’s prompt choice to dissolve the union was appropriate in light of the groom’s disparaging statement. “Marriage without respect is doomed from the start,” said a different user, echoing the view of many who applauded the bride for leaving an abusive relationship swiftly.
This tale reminds me of another brief marriage that ended in divorce in Britain in 2004 just ninety minutes after the wedding.
