I Am Not Sure If The Divorce Rate,

is rising or falling,


but according to this article the process of divorce it is certainly getting quicker, no more years of, if you will excuse the oxymoron, of being 'happily married' this marriage took just 3 minuets from saying 'I Do' to saying 'I Do Not', it happened like this, the two had just signed their marriage contract in front of a judge and were walking out of the courthouse when the bride accidentally tripped, instead of helping her up, the groom reportedly insulted his wife by calling her “stupid” for slipping, that was apparently too much for the woman to bear, so she turned around and asked the judge to dissolve their marriage on the spot, according to Q8 News, this was the fastest divorce in the history of Kuwait, and probably of the whole world, some suspected that the bride was simply looking for an excuse for the quick divorce, which isn’t that far fetched considering Kuwait’s problem with “interest-driven marriages”, according to this article in the Arab Times, the loans and financial assistance provided by the state to newly-married couples has caused the divorce rate in the Middle-Eastern country to skyrocket in recent years, I wonder who went to the reception? image at the top of the post by stevepb/Pixabay.
