A couple divorced just three minutes after their wedding when the groom insulted the bride, marking the shortest marriage in the nation's history.
A couple in Kuwait made headlines for having the shortest marriage in the nation's history after they divorced just three minutes after being declared husband and wife. According to a report by Independent's Indy, the incident took place in 2019 but has recently gone viral on social media again.
The drama unfolded as the couple, having just completed their wedding ceremony, turned to leave the courthouse. The bride tripped, and the groom insulted her by calling her "stupid" for falling. This insult angered the bride, who then demanded that the judge annul their marriage immediately. The judge agreed, and within three minutes of tying the knot, the couple was officially divorced.
This incident has sparked discussions on social media. One user on X (formerly Twitter) shared their own experience, writing, "I went to a wedding where the groom spent his speech making fun of his wife like it was some kind of roast, as did her father. She should have done what this woman did." Another person commented, "A marriage with no respect is a failed one right from the beginning." Others echoed similar sentiments, noting that it was better for the bride to leave a disrespectful relationship early on.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first instance of an exceptionally short marriage making news. In 2004, a couple in the United Kingdom divorced just 90 minutes after their wedding. Scott McKie and Victoria Anderson's marriage ended shortly after exchanging vows at the Stockport Register Office in Greater Manchester. The trouble began when Scott made a toast to the bridesmaids at their reception, which infuriated Victoria. She reacted by hitting him over the head with an ashtray. The situation escalated when police were called, and Scott ended up hitting one officer in the head and another in the face. He spent the night in jail while Victoria celebrated their swift divorce by canceling their honeymoon in Corfu.
These stories highlight how quickly relationships can unravel when respect and understanding are absent from the start. The viral nature of these incidents also shows how society reacts to such extreme and sudden decisions in marriages.
