A unique and historic incident of marriage breakup in Kuwait has captured social media's attention. In 2019, a couple divorced just three minutes after tying the knot, making it the shortest marriage in recorded history.
This unusual event took place in front of a judge, who both officiated the wedding and granted the divorce.
The story resurfaced recently and became a viral topic of discussion on social media. The couple’s brief union ended abruptly when, moments after their court wedding ceremony, the bride tripped and fell. Instead of offering support, the groom insulted her by calling her a "fool."
Outraged by this disrespect, the bride immediately demanded the judge annul the marriage. The judge complied, and within three minutes of getting married, the couple was officially divorced.
This incident has ignited a lively debate on social media about respect and tolerance in relationships. One user on X shared a personal experience of attending a wedding where the groom spent his entire speech mocking his bride.
They suggested that the bride's swift decision to end the marriage was justified given the groom's derogatory remark. Another user commented, "Marriage without respect is doomed from the start," reflecting a common sentiment among commenters who praised the bride for quickly exiting an abusive relationship.
This story is reminiscent of another short-lived marriage from 2004 in Britain, where a couple divorced 90 minutes after their wedding. Scott McKay and Victoria Anderson’s marriage ended after a confrontation at their reception.
Scott’s mocking remarks about brides angered Victoria, leading to a physical altercation involving an ashtray. The situation escalated, resulting in police intervention and Scott’s subsequent arrest.
