Have a read of this, it made me chuckle.
Arab ambassador discovers bride is bearded and cross-eyed behind veil
An Arab ambassador has called off his wedding after discovering his wife-to-be who wears a face-covering veil is bearded and cross-eyed.
This is the rest of the story.
The envoy had only met the woman a few times, during which she had hidden her face behind a niqab, the Gulf News reported.
After the marriage contract was signed, the ambassador attempted to kiss his bride-to-be. It was only then that he discovered her facial hair and eyes.
The ambassador told an Islamic Sharia court in the United Arab Emirates he was tricked into the marriage as the woman's mother had shown his own mother pictures of her sister instead of his bride-to-be.
He sued for the contract to be annulled and also demanded the woman pay him 500,000 dirhams (£85,000) for clothes, jewelry and other gifts he had bought for her.
The court annulled the contract but rejected the ambassador's demand for compensation.
The report did not identify the ambassador.
Maybe next time he thinks about marrying someone, perhaps he should take a peak under her veil before agreeing.

Dunno yer name,
But you is bin real sexist here, all women have hair on their bodies, the fact i don’t is a personal choice, I’s prefers bin Brazilian, so yas cant blame her fer not shavin’. As far as her eyes are concerned, I bet when yous was a kid yer mum told you to stop doin’ sommat coz it would make ya blind and look at ya now..... ya need glasses.
There was no sexism intended here.
I just found the story funny.
