I've read and heard many things in my time as a family lawyer, but I think this has to be a first..
An Algerian groom has started court proceedings in Algeria against his wife, who he says inflicted psychological suffering on him - having not recognised her without make-up the day after their wedding.
He may have agreed to take her for better and for worse, but for one Algerian groom, seeing his new wife without make-up was a step too far. The husband was so shocked after seeing his bride's face the morning after their wedding that he failed to even recognise her. He even accused her of being a thief that had broken into his house. After realising it was in fact the woman he had married only yesterday, he decided to take her to court - accusing her inflicting 'psychological suffering' by 'cheating' him with her make-up. The groom is now seeking $20,000 (£13,000) damages.
