A woman in Kuwait filed for a divorce from her husband for his bad smell, saying she could no longer stand the smell, a newspaper reported on Thursday.
The unidentified woman told court she had tried many times to persuade her husband to have treatment but he refused and beat her up.
“She filed for a divorce…she said she could no longer adapt to or accept the bad smell of her husband,” Alanba daily said
Of course, now the stinking bastard will be honor bound to kill her.
When you wipe by splashing water on yourself and don’t wash afterwards things are bound to get stinky.
I guess it’s hard to wash in the desert.
Not sure the assumptions he washes, or uses water, are valid.
A lot of Muslims marry close relatives — including first cousins. That practice is likely more common in the “Stans” than in Arabia — but, (AFAIK) it’s not prohibited by Islam anywhere.
There’s a lot of scientific evidence that scent is an important factor in sexual attraction, and further that the scent of close relatives is (generally) not sexually attractive. This is the mechanism that helps prevent incest, and has helps produce a stronger immune system in offspring.
In cultures (i.e. Muslim cultures), where marriages are arranged between first cousins, it’s likely that most people don’t “smell right” to their spouse. Of course, that might not be the case in this instance.
Maybe she should send him to the hospital. My husband suddenly developed bad breath. (We’ve been married more than 50 years, and he never had bad breath before.) Seriously, I couldn’t get within 3 feet of him.
About the same time he had a terrble stomach attack in the middle of the night. I took him to the ER where it was discovered that he had a bad gall bladder. A few days later, it was removed; and he was as good as new. Moreover — no more bad breath. And no more “acid reflux”.
The doctor said that the gall bladder could have been bad for a number of years and caused all kinds of symptoms which he had ignored. But the bad breath was a new one.
judging from some of the people on the “public transit” nowadays, the lady may just have a good point....
Well, she had to have some sort of “cause,” and the beating didn’t count.
Yep, B.O. stinks, for sure.
Leave the stinky bas***d.
I thought she was talking about Obamao, the walking fly trap.
If bad smells become acceptable grounds for divorce, there are going to be a tsunami of divorces.
Perfect summary.
Cracked me up.
He smells like goat poon.
