It's not exactly up there with infidelity but poor table manners are clearly grounds for divorce in some parts of the Middle East.
Just one week after getting married, a woman in Kuwait has filed for divorce after discovering her husband prefers to use bread, rather than a fork, to eat peas.
Traumatised by the 'shocking sight', she said she could no longer live with him, owing to his lack of etiquette.
The case of the 'shocking' peas, reported in the daily Al Qabas today, is not the only bizarre reason for wanting a divorce in Kuwait...
Others include:
- One woman wanted a divorce because her husband insisted on squeezing the toothpaste tube in the middle and not the end. 'We are always arguing... He is so obstinate,' she said.
- A man divorced his wife after she refused to bring him a glass of water.
- Another woman divorced her husband on their wedding day because the groom had not made the costly arrangements that she had asked for.
