An Egyptian woman has filed for divorce from her husband on the grounds that he has not showered since they married, AlArabiya.net reported Sunday.
The wedding took place two months ago.
It was a quick courtship for Yara Saad Al-Din, 23, and Aysar Ali, 31, who got engaged two weeks after meeting on an airplane, AlArabiya reported.
But a couple of months into the marriage and the honeymoon is over. Ali recently confessed to his blushing bride that he hasn't showered in all eight weeks of their union, and now the missus is ready to change her marriage vows to "till dirt do us part."
Ali claimed he could not bathe because of a skin disease which made him allergic to water. While a doctor confirmed Ali had a skin disease, he also said it had nothing to do with water, AlArabiya reported.
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....

The court won’t grant it because if this is setermined to be valid grounds...it will set off a chain reaction of millions of Islamic divorces.
Did she not notice the smell before they married or is this a scam for her finances?

I think it was truly about the stink.
She was unable to tell if it was him or the goat ring bearer.
He probably used both air nozzles on max to stay downwind.
Muslims shower?
Something smells...
Yes, this one appears to pass the smell test.
Early preparations for becoming a mummy???
Wheeeeew! Pee-U!
I think it's pretty standard with "those people".
Now we know where the French descended from............
come on now,
he’s just being egyptian.
You see, that is where you went wrong... up to now your "blushing bride" couldn't even tell the difference... Duh!
I predict an “honor killing” in her future.
From what I’ve smelled of arabs, he would be the odd man if he DID shower ...
Well, this stinks.
Al-Dun.
