Keep your money ready with you to get married!!

The marriage between a couple lasted less than 15 minutes following a misunderstanding between the groom and his fatherin-law, who was in a rush to collect his daughter’s bride price, Gulf News reported. The newly-married man divorced his wife within 15 minutes after signing the marriage contract after he felt demeaned by his fatherin-law who did not want to wait for him to bring part of the agreed-upon money from his parked car. The man was believed to have an agreement with the bride’s father to pay Dh100,000 for the marriage and mention the amount in the contract, an Arabic news report said on Tuesday. According to the father-husband agreement, the man was supposed to pay Dh50,000 at the time of signing the contract inside the Sharia judge’s office and the remaining amount upon leaving the court building. The groom paid half the amount inside the office, the bride’s father asked his son-in-law to pay the rest. The groom asked his fatherin-law to wait for a few minutes and assured him that the other Dh50,000 was in his car. The woman’s father insisted the groom pay up immediately, even though the groom told him that he would get the money within five minutes after leaving the court building. The father-in-law then told the man to send a relative or friend to get the money, a lawyer who is handling the case confirmed to Gulf News on Tuesday
