He claims that on their first day together, the curtains of the flat where they went to spend their honeymoon came down on the floor.

He also noted that the waiter who was serving them when they went out for their first dinner slipped and fell.

The man added that when they returned to the flat, the bottle of perfume he was holding also fell on the floor when he told his bride that it had a great smell, Saudi news site, Al Marsad reported.

Following these incidents, the man thought that all the falls that occurred after the marriage were a negative sign and that his wife was going to be bad luck in his life, and decided to divorce her.

The next day, he took her to her family’s home and told her parents that he was divorcing her.

As per usual, social media users have taken the issue up, criticising the man for his attitude.

"Does he think that marriage is such a trivial matter," a blogger asked. "Does he think that you can marry a woman and divorce her so easily over such trivial matters? He obviously needs help. He should not be allowed to play with people’s emotions as per his wishes."
