Did she not notice the smell before they married or is this a scam for her finances?

From the article:

Al-Din filed for divorce. When Ali refused to grant her one, she filed for khol’a – an arrangement within Islam which will grant a woman a divorce if she renounces some financial rights....

I think it was truly about the stink.
